About MP3 audio tracks and JPEG
image files
MP3 is audio compression technology that
satisfies certain ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is
image compression technology.
You can play MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3)
format audio tracks and JPEG image files on
DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs) or
JPEG image files on DATA DVDs (DVD-ROMs/
DVD+RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD-Rs).
DATA CDs must be recorded according to
ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet format for the
recorder to recognize the MP3 tracks. DATA
DVDs must be recorded in Universal Disc Format
(UDF). You can also play discs recorded in
MultiSession.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-
RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW drives and the recording
software (not supplied) for details on the recording
format.
Note on MultiSession/Border discs
If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are
recorded in the first session/border, the recorder
will also play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image
files in other sessions/borders. If audio tracks and
images in Music CD format or Video CD format
are recorded in the first session/border, only the
first session/border will be played back.
b
Note
The recorder may not be able to play some DATA CDs/
DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write format.

Erasing and Editing

Before Editing

This recorder offers various edit options for
various disc types. Before you edit, check the disc
type in the front panel display, and select the
option available for your disc (page 8).
b
Notes
• You may lose the edited contents if you remove the disc
or a timer recording starts while editing.
• DVD discs created by DVD video cameras cannot be
edited on this recorder.
Edit options for the HDD and DVD-
RWs (VR mode)
HDD -RW
VR
You can enjoy advanced edit functions. First you
have two options for the HDD and DVD-RWs
(VR mode): editing either the original recording
(called the "original"), or the playback
information created from the original (called a
"Playlist"). Since each is different in nature and
offers different merits, read the following and
select the one that better suits your needs.
To edit original titles
Edits made to the original titles are final. If you
plan to retain an unaltered original recording,
create and edit a Playlist (see below). The edit
functions available for original titles are:
– Labelling a title (page 63).
– Setting protection against erasure (page 63).
– Erasing a title (page 63).
– Erasing multiple titles (page 65).
– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 64).
– Erasing all titles on the disc (page 66).
– Erasing a chapter (page 64).
– Dividing one title into two titles (HDD only)

MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image
files that the recorder can play
The recorder can play the following tracks and
files:
– MP3 audio tracks with the extension ".MP3,"
".mp3," or ".Mp3."
– JPEG image files with the extension ".JPEG,"
".jpg," ".JPG," ".Jpg," ".jpeg," or ".Jpeg."
– JPEG image files that conform to the DCF*
image file format.
* "Design rule for Camera File system": Image standards
for digital cameras regulated by JEITA (Japan
Electronics and Information Technology Industries
Association).
b Notes
• The recorder will play any data with the extension
".MP3," ".mp3," ".Mp3," ".JPEG," ".jpg," ".JPG,"
".Jpg," ".jpeg," or ".Jpeg" even if they are not in MP3
or JPEG format. Playing these data may generate a loud
noise which could damage your speaker system.
• The recorder does not conform to audio tracks in
mp3PRO format.
• Some files cannot be played.
• The letters that cannot be displayed are replaced with
"*."
To create and edit Playlist titles
A Playlist is a group of Playlist titles created from
the original title for editing purposes. When you
create a Playlist, only the control information
necessary for playback, such as the playback
order, is stored on the disc. Since the original titles
are left unaltered, Playlist titles can be re-edited.
Example: You have recorded the final few
matches of a football tournament on a DVD-RW
(VR mode). You want to create a digest with the
goal scenes and other highlights, but you also want
to keep the original recording.
Original
Playlist
In this case, you can compile highlight scenes as a
Playlist title. You can even rearrange the scene
order within the Playlist title ("Creating and
Editing a Playlist" on page 67).
The advanced edit functions available for Playlist
titles are:
– Setting protection against erasure (HDD only)
(page 63).
– Labelling a title (page 63).
– Erasing a title (page 63).
– Erasing multiple titles (page 65).
– Erasing a section of a title (A-B Erase) (page 64).
– Rearranging the title order (DVD-RWs (VR
mode) only) (page 68).
– Dividing a title into multiple titles (page 65).
– Combining multiple titles into one title
(page 69).
– Erasing a chapter (page 64).
z Hint
You can display the disc's Playlist titles in the Title List
(Playlist), or the original titles in the Title List (Original).
To switch the two Title Lists, press TOOLS while a Title
List is displayed, and select "Original" or "Playlist."

About playback order of albums,
tracks, and files
Albums play in the following order:
Structure of disc contents
Tree 1 Tree 2 Tree 3
ROOT
Album MP3 audio track/
JPEG image file
When you insert a DATA CD/DATA DVD and
press H, the numbered files are played
sequentially, from 1 through 7. For JPEG
image files, press
to go to the next album
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.) When you
press TITLE LIST and the list of album names
appears (page 28), the album names are arranged
in the following order: A t B t C t D t
F t G. Albums that do not contain tracks (or
files) (such as album E) do not appear in the list.

playback. When an original title is used for a Playlist
title, the original title cannot be erased.

control information is full, erase or edit unnecessary
titles.
• Playlist titles containing titles recorded with the "Copy-
Once" copy protection signal cannot be dubbed or

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.
