Creating an mp3 Disc on Your Computer

Your DVD recorder handles MPEG-1, layer 3 audio. If you encode your own mp3 ﬁ les from an audio CD, avoid using the features of MPEG-2, such as
the 22kHz sampling frequency.

Be sure to make a data CD rather than an audio CD. If you make an audio CD, you will lose the extra features and compression of the mp3 format.

Notes:

Some transport modes (reverse and fast forward) are not available for mp3 CDs.

When burning multisession CDs, make sure you close the last session.

Place the disc in the disc tray with the printed side facing up.

Press the PLAY button to display the disc’s contents.

Select a folder using the arrow buttons on the remote control, then press ENTER to display the list of ﬁ les or press PLAY to start playing all the ﬁ les
contained in the folder.

Select a ﬁ le using the up and down arrow buttons, press ENTER (the playback options appear). Use the up and down arrow buttons to scroll

ﬁ le: the player starts the slide show with the JPEG ﬁ le you have selected in the thumbnail screen and proceeds to display all the JPEG ﬁ les

in the same folder, then all the JPEG ﬁ les in the subfolders located in the same folder.

Note: During the slide show you can use the arrow buttons to rotate the picture 90°, the ZOOM button to magnify the picture,
the or buttons to go back to the previous picture or go on to the next one, the FWD and REV buttons to change the speed
of the slide show (the speed selection varies depending upon the size of the JPEG ﬁ les), and the MENU button to interrupt the
slide show and display the disc’s contents.

When the player has played all the ﬁ les, the disc’s contents appear.

Press STOP to end playback.
