all self-recorded BD-discs because Blu-ray is a new 

and evolving format. The playback compatibility will 

be affected by your choice of BD-recorder, BD-disc 

and BD-burning software. Please always ensure you 

are using the latest software versions on all units and 

contact the individual manufacturers for further help if 

required.

To avoid inconveniences, please check the playback 

compatibility of your self-recorded disc before you 

purchase this BD-player.  For maximum playback 

compatibility of self-recorded BD-discs Sharp 

recommends that the BDMV/BDAV standards are 

used. If a playback issue occurs after purchase, please 

download the latest software version for your BD-player 

from the Sharp internet page or ask your Sharp-Dealer.

This BD-player uses the latest technology available at 

the time of development and cannot guarantee support 

for future enhancements or changes to the standard.

•  Discs containing a signal for the purpose of protecting 

copyrights (copy control signal) may not be played back 

with this Player.

•  This Player has been designed on the premise of 

playing back Audio CDs that comply with CD (Compact 

Disc) standards.

•  Discs on which data has not been recorded cannot be 

played back.

•  Discs recorded in a format other than an Audio CD and 

JPEG/MP3 file format cannot be played back.

JPEG is a type of file format for storing still-image 

files (photos, illustrations, etc.). The Player lets you 

play JPEG format still-image files.
File formats that are not compatible.

•  Still images in formats other than JPEG (such as TIFF) 

cannot be played.

•  There may be some files that cannot be played even if 

they are in JPEG format.

•  Progressive JPEG files cannot be played.

•  Moving image files as well as Motion JPEG format files 

cannot be played, even though they are JPEG files.

•  You may not be able to play some still images which 

you have created, touched up, copied or otherwise 

edited on your computer.

•  You may not be able to play some still images you have 

processed (rotated or saved by overwriting other images 

you have imported from the Internet or e-mail).

•  It may take some time to play files depending on the 

number of folders, number of files and volume of data 

involved.

•  EXIF information will not be displayed. EXIF stands for 

Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for 

storing interchange information in image files, especially 

those using JPEG compression. (Refer to http://exif.org 

for more information.)

MP3 files are audio data compressed in the 

MPEG1/2 Audio layer-3 file format. “MP3 files” have 

“.mp3” as extensions. (Some files that have “.mp3” 

extensions or files that have not been recorded in 

MP3 format will produce noise or cannot be played.)
Playing the MP3 file format

•  The MP3 files are not played in the order they were 

recorded.

•  It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as 

data recorded at a fast speed can produce noise and 

may not be able to be played.

•  The more folders there are, the longer the reading time.

•  Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take 

time.

•  The playing time may not be correctly displayed during 

MP3 file playback.

•  When both Audio CD [CD-DA] format and JPEG/

MP3 file formats are recorded on a disc. (The disc is 

recognised to be an Audio CD [CD-DA] only tracks in 

Audio CD [CD-DA] format are played back.)

•  Multi-session discs cannot be played.
