About MP3 Audio Tracks
and JPEG Image Files
What is MP3/JPEG?
MP3 is audio compression technology that
satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is
image compression technology.
Discs that the system can
play
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-
Rs/CD-RWs) recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio
Layer 3) and JPEG format. However, the discs
must be recorded according to ISO9660 level 1,
level 2 or Joliet format for the system to
recognize the tracks (or files). You can also play
discs recorded in Multi Session.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/
CD-RW drives and the recording software (not
supplied) for details on the recording format.
Note on the multi-session disc
If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are
recorded in the first session, the system will also
play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files in
other sessions. If audio tracks and images in
Music CD format or Video CD format are
recorded in the first session, only the first
session will be played back.
Note
The system may not be able to play some DATA CDs
created in the Packet Write format. In this case, you
cannot view the JPEG images recorded.
