About MP3 Audio Tracks
and JPEG Image Files
What is MP3/JPEG?
MP3 is audio compression technology that
satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is

DATA CDs that the player can
play
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/
CD-Rs/CD-RWs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1
Audio Layer 3) and JPEG format. However,
the discs must be recorded according to
ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet format for
the player to recognize the tracks (or files).
You can also play discs recorded in Multi
Session.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the
CD-R/CD-RW drives and the recording
software (not supplied) for details on the
recording format.
Note on Multi Session discs
If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are
recorded in the first session, the player will
also play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image
files in other sessions. If audio tracks and
images in Music CD format or Video CD

the first session will be played back.
Note
The player may not be able to play some DATA
CDs created in the Packet Write format. In this case,
you cannot view the JPEG images recorded.
