NOTES ON MP3 AND WMA
PLAYBACK
• During playback, the front-panel
display and the time indicator on the
screen above the list will show the
elapsed time of the track being
played. Other time display options
are not available with MP3/WMA
playback.
• The DVD280 is only compatible with
standard MP3- and WMA-encoded
discs. Other compressed audio for-
mats used for Internet audio down-
loads will not play on the DVD280.
• Due to the differences in various
versions of the MP3 and WMA for-
mats, and the many differences
between the CD-R machines used
to record discs on a computer, it is
possible that some discs may not
play on the DVD280 even though
they will work on a computer. This
is normal and does not indicate a
fault with the unit.
• When a multisession disc with both
standard CD audio and MP3 or
WMA content is in use, the DVD280
will play only the CD audio sections
of the disc. Track numbers will be
visible in the display, but the files
will not be decoded.
• If a disc containing MP3, WMA
and/or JPEG files is created in more
than one session, the DVD280 may
not recognize files added during the
later sessions, especially if the disc
was finalized after the first session.
• When a disc with multiple directo-
ries is playing, only tracks from one
directory can be displayed and
played at a time. Select the desired
directory and press the Play Button
5
B
to start the first track. To see
and play tracks from other directo-
ries, first you must select that direc-
tory, then select the track and press
the Play Button
5
B
.
• Only stereo audio playback is avail-
able for MP3 and WMA discs
(see Figure 92).

Programmed Playback With
MP3 or WMA Discs
The DVD280 is capable of creating
playlists of the files on a properly
recorded disc. To create a playback
list for MP3 or WMA titles, follow the
same steps as for programming a
playlist for any other format disc,
as described on page 43.
Information Menus
The information menus described on
page 37 are also available when an
MP3 or WMA disc is loaded into the
DVD280 by pressing the Info Button
g. During MP3 playback, the fol-
lowing information will be visible on
the Information menu: disc type,
track elapsed time, track number
in disc’s order, and track number in
programmed order. If the information
was entered at the time the disc was
recorded, or if it contains the ID3 tag,
Version 1 (ID3v1), the following infor-
mation will also appear: title, artist
name, album name, year of release,
comment line and genre. The file
name and bit-rate will also be
displayed (see Figure 93).

JPEG Playback
As mentioned earlier in this manual,
the DVD280 is one of the few avail-
able DVD players that is capable of
recognizing JPEG still-image files and
displaying them. When a disc con-
taining JPEG files is loaded, the JPEG
Disc-Type Indicator A will light in
the Main Information Display #. The
disc will immediately begin displaying
the images on the disc in order.
Use the Player Menu, as described
on page 34, to set the duration each
image remains on-screen, to program
the order of display, and to simultane-
ously play any MP3 audio files also
present on the disc. WMA audio files
may not be played simultaneously
with the display of the JPEG files.
When viewing JPEG images, the
Angle Button w may be used to
rotate the image. Make sure to stop
playback of any audio files on the
disc. With the image on-screen,
press the Angle Button w once to
display the current orientation of the
image, usually +0. Press the Angle
Button w again within one second
to rotate the image clockwise 90
degrees. The new orientation of +90
will be displayed. Each additional
press of the Angle Button w will
continue to rotate the image clock-
wise by 90 degrees.
The Zoom function is available while
viewing JPEG images. See page 31
for more information.
