You can enjoy movie or music discs with the DVD receiver. Since some DVD receiver disc operations are limited to
specific disc types, the supported disc types are indicated using the icons shown below. Each icon means that the
operation is limited to the corresponding disc type. For information on supported disc standards and disc usage notes,
refer to “Disc Information” (page 48) and “Handling a disc” (page 49). Operations with no icon indicated are available
for all disc types.
About MP3, WMA, DivX ® and JPEG discs
You can play MP3, WMA and DivX ® files recorded on a
CD-R or CD-RW with similar uses as a music CD or a
DVD. The DVD receiver regards folders in the disc as
albums, and files as tracks (as shown below). Also you can
play JPEG picture files recorded on a CD-R or CD-RW.
For details about how to play these files, refer to
“ENJOYING MULTIMEDIA FILES ON DISCS”
(page 32).
What is MP3?
“MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3)” is a standard technology
and format for compressing an audio sequence into a
small-sized file. However it preserves the original level of
sound quality when it is played.
• Depending on recording conditions such as recording software
settings, the DVD receiver may not be able to play the disc or
play tracks in the order they were recorded.
• The DVD receiver is compatible with a bit rate range of 32, 64,
96, 128, 192, 256 or 320 kbps and variable bit encoded MP3
files.
• The DVD receiver is compatible with a sampling frequency of
16, 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz.
What is WMA?
“WMA (Windows Media Audio)” is a Microsoft file format for
encoding digital audio files similar to MP3 though can compress
files at a higher rate than MP3.
What is JPEG?
“JPEG” is a compression format for still images. With
only a slight drop in image quality (part of the data is
removed), still image data can be compressed to
approximately 1/10 to 1/100 of its original size.
This unit does not support the progressive JPEG format.
What is DivX ® ?
“DivX ® ” is a video compression technology developed by
DivX ® Networks, Inc. It compresses digital video data to
sizes small enough to be transported over the Internet
without reducing the original video quality. You need
DivX
® codec software to play back DivX ® movies or
convert data to the DivX ® format.
