About playback order of
albums, tracks, and files
Albums play in the following order:
Structure of disc contents
Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3 Tree 4 Tree 5
ROOT
Album MP3 audio track/
JPEG image file/
DivX video file
When you insert a DATA CD/DATA DVD
and press H, the numbered tracks (or files)
are played sequentially, from 1 through 7.
For JPEG image files, press to go to the
next album. (For instance, when you want to
go from 1 to 2.) Any sub-albums/tracks (or
files) contained within a currently selected
album take priority over the next album in the
same tree. (Example: C contains D so 4 is
played before 5.)
z Hints
• If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front
of the track/file names when you store the tracks
(or files) in a disc, the tracks and files will be
played in that order.
• Since a disc with many trees takes longer to start
playback, it is recommended that you create
albums with no more than two trees.
To open up disc space
To open up disc space on a DVD+RW or
DVD-RW (Video mode), erase the title with
the largest number in the title list.
Largest title number
For the DVD-RWs (VR mode), you can erase
any title.
For DVD-Rs and DVD+Rs, the available disc
space does not increase even if you erase
titles.
