About MP3 audio tracks and JPEG
image files
MP3 is audio compression technology that
satisfies the ISO/IEC MPEG regulations.
JPEG is image compression technology.
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-
Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/
DVD+RWs/DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-Rs)
recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) and
JPEG format.
However, this recorder only plays DATA CDs
whose logical format is ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2
or Joliet, and DATA DVDs of Universal Disk

See the instructions supplied with the disc drives
and the recording software (not supplied) for

z Hints
If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the
