About DVD-RW
< DVD-RW discs that were recorded with copy-once only
permission cannot be played.
< When playing a DVD-RW disc that was edited on a DVD
recorder, the screen may momentarily black out at the edited
point.
< When playing a DVD-RW disc that was edited on a DVD
recorder, you may see scenes from just before the edited
point.
About CD-R/CD-RW
CD-R/RW discs recorded in Audio CD format and finalized
correctly are playable. But depending on the quality of the disc
and/or the condition of the recording, some CD-R & CD-RW
discs may not be playable.
MP3/JPEG compatibility
This player is compatible with discs that contain MP3 audio
tracks or JPEG files.
< File names of MP3/JPEG should be alphanumeric characters.
This unit cannot display symbols and full-size or 2 bytes-wide
characters (such as Japanese, Chinese, etc.) correctly. Also, be
sure to use the file extension ".mp3", ".jpg" or ".jpeg".
< Only the first 14 characters of folder and track names
(excluding the ".mp3", ".jpg" or ".jpeg" extension) are
displayed.
< The disc must be finalized in order to play.
< The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible.
< This player is not compatible with multi-session discs.
< When more than 200 files or folders are recorded on the disc,
the unit might not be able to play it correctly.
< It may take time to display a progressive JPEG picture.
< Depending on the file size and compression rate, some JPEG
pictures cannot be displayed correctly.
< Mono or stereo MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format, 44.1 or
48 kHz, fixed bit-rate.
< Audio encoded at 128 Kbps should sound close to regular
audio CD quality. Although this player will play lower bit-rate
MP3 tracks, the sound quality becomes noticeably worse at
lower bit-rates.
CAUTION:
< If you record a disc using a personal computer or a DVD
recorder, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there
are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of
the application software used to create the disc. (Check with
the software publisher for more detailed information.)
< Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be played.
