About MP3 audio tracks
You can play MP3 audio tracks on CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, or CD-RWs. However, the
discs must be recorded according to ISO9660 level 1, level 2, or Joliet format for the
player to recognize the tracks.
You can also play discs recorded in Multi Session.
See the instructions of the CD-R/RW device or recording software (not supplied) for
details on the recording format.
To play a Multi Session CD
This player can play Multi Session CDs when an MP3 audio track is located in the
first session. Any subsequent MP3 audio tracks, recorded in the later sessions, can
also be played back. When audio tracks and images in music CD format or video CD
format are recorded in the first session, only the first session will be played back.
Notes
• If you put the extension “.MP3” to data not in MP3 format, the player cannot recognize the
data properly and will generate a loud noise which could damage your speaker system.
• The player cannot play audio tracks in MP3PRO format.
• This player supports MP3 audio tracks recorded with a bit rate of 128 kbps and a sampling
frequency of 44.1 kHz. Attempting to play MP3 audio tracks recorded with different
specifications may result in loud noise, sound skipping or speaker damage.
• Depending on the disc, playback may take some time to start.
The Playback order of MP3 audio tracks
The playback order of albums and tracks recorded on a DATA CD is as follows.
• Structure of disc contents
Tree 1
Tree 2

When you insert a DATA CD and press H PLAY, the numbered tracks are played
sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any sub-albums/tracks contained within a currently
selected album take priority over the next album in the same tree. (Example: C
contains D so 4 is played before 5.)
When you press O RETURN and the list of MP3 albums appears (page 75), the
albums are arranged in the following order: A t B t C t D t F t G.
Albums that do not contain tracks (such as album E) do not appear in the list.
Tips
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the track file names, the tracks will be
played in that order.
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start playback, place your albums within the first
two trees.
Notes
• Depending on the software you use to create the DATA CD, the playback order may differ
from the illustration above.
• The playback order above may not be applicable if there are more than a total of 200 albums
and tracks in the DATA CD.
• The player can recognize up to 100 albums (the player will count just albums, including
albums that do not contain MP3 audio tracks). The player will not play any albums beyond
the first 100 albums. Of the first 100 albums, the player will play no more than a combined
total of 200 albums and tracks.

Glossary
Chapter (page 33)
Sections of a picture or a music feature that are smaller than titles. A title is composed of
several chapters. Depending on the disc, no chapters may be recorded.
Dolby Digital (page 46 and 51)
Digital audio compression technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. This technology
conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a discrete
subwoofer channel in this format. Dolby Digital provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of
high quality digital audio found in Dolby Digital cinema audio systems. Good channel
separation is realized because all of the channel data are recorded discretely and little
deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.
Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) (page 46)
Audio signal processing technology that Dolby Laboratories developed for surround sound.
When the input signal contains a surround component, the Pro Logic process outputs the front,
center and rear signals. The rear channel is monaural.
DTS (page 51)
Digital audio compression technology that Digital Theater Systems, Inc. developed. This
technology conforms to 5.1-channel surround sound. The rear channel is stereo and there is a
discrete subwoofer channel in this format. DTS provides the same 5.1 discrete channels of high
quality digital audio.
Good channel separation is realized because all of the channel data is recorded discretely and
little deterioration is realized because all channel data processing is digital.
The data capacity of a single-layer and single-sided DVD is 4.7 GB (Giga Byte), which is 7
times that of a CD. The data capacity of a double-layer and single-sided DVD is 8.5 GB, a
single-layer and double-sided DVD is 9.4 GB, and double-layer and double-sided DVD is
17GB.
The picture data uses the MPEG 2 format, one of the worldwide standards of digital
compression technology. The picture data is compressed to about 1/40 (average) of its original
size. The DVD also uses a variable rate coding technology that changes the data to be allocated
according to the status of the picture. Audio information is recorded in a multi-channel format,
such as Dolby Digital, allowing you to enjoy a more real audio presence.
Furthermore, various advanced functions such as the multi-angle, multilingual, and Parental
Control functions are provided with the DVD.
Additional Information
DVD (page 8)
A disc that contains up to 8 hours of moving pictures even though its diameter is the same as a
CD.
DVD-RW (page 8)
A DVD-RW is a recordable and rewritable disc that is the same size as a DVD VIDEO. The
DVD-RW has two different modes: VR mode and Video mode. DVD-RWs created in Video
mode have the same format as a DVD VIDEO, while discs created in VR (Video Recording)
mode allow the contents to be programmed or edited.

010COV.book Page 100 Saturday, March 15, 2003 4:29 PM
DVD+RW (page 8)
A DVD+RW (plus RW) is a recordable and rewritable disc. DVD+RWs use a recording format
that is comparable to the DVD VIDEO format.
Interlace format (page 55)
Interlace format shows every other line of an image as a single “field” and is the standard
method for displaying images on television. The even number field shows the even numbered
lines of an image, and the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines of an image.
Progressive format (page 49 and 55)
Compared to the Interlace format that alternately shows every other line of an image (field) to
create one frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image at once as a single frame. This
means that while the Interlace format can show 30 frames/60 fields in one second, the
Progressive format can show 60 frames in one second. The overall picture quality increases and
still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper. This player is compatible with the 480
progressive format.
Title (page 33)
The longest section of a picture or music feature on a DVD, movie, etc., in video software, or
the entire album in audio software.
Track (page 33)
Sections of a picture or a music feature on a CD or VIDEO CD (the length of a song).
