MP3 is audio compression technology that 
satisfies the ISO/IEC MPEG regulations. 
JPEG is image compression technology.
You can play DATA CDs/DATA DVDs that 
contain MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image 
files.

You can play back DATA CDs or DATA 
DVDs recorded in MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio 
Layer III) and JPEG format.
However, this player only plays DATA CDs 
whose logical format is ISO 9660 Level 1/
Level 2 or Joliet, and DATA DVDs of 
Universal Disk Format (UDF).
Refer to the instructions supplied with the 
disc drives and the recording software (not 
supplied) for details on the recording format.

The player may not be able to play some DATA 
CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write 
format.

The player can play the following tracks and 
files:
– MP3 audio tracks with the extension 

“.MP3.”

– JPEG image files with the extension 

“.JPEG” or “.JPG.”

– JPEG image files that conform to the DCF* 

image file format.

• The player will play any data with the extension 

“.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG,” even if they are not 
in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing these data may 
generate a loud noise which could damage your 
speaker system.

◆Structure of disc contents

When you insert a DATA CD/DATA DVD 
and press H, the numbered tracks (or files) 
are played sequentially, from 1 through 7. 
Any sub-albums/tracks (or files) 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.)
