Audio/Video files playback
Outline
The player can play back MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG-4 (simple
profile/asf file) files on either a personally recorded CD-R/RW
disc and memory card, or a commercially available CD.
You can select and play back files using the Control display on
the TV screen.
• The player may be unable to play back the media due to the
characteristics or recording conditions.
Precautions
About files and folders (groups) on the disc or the
memory card
• Files are sometimes grouped into folders by genre, album, etc.
In this manual, “group” is also referred to as “folder.”
• A folder which has one or more files is regarded as a group.
• The player can detect and play back the groups which are
located up to the fifth layer.
• The files in the Control display are arranged by the alphabetical
order of extensions as follows: “asf,” “jpeg,” “mp3”, and “wma.”
• Time required for reading the media contents may vary for
different media, depending on the numbers of folders (groups)
and files recorded, etc.
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped into “group
1.”
• The player recognizes up to 999 files per group, and up to 250
groups per disc/memory card. Files other than MP3/WMA/
JPEG/MPEG-4 files also count in the 999 total.
