Playing Mp3 And/Or Jpeg Files - RCA DRC8000N User Manual

Playing mp3 or JPEG files
Your DVD Recorder can play mp3 files and JPEG files.You can also create a musical slide show by putting both mp3 (MPEG-1, layer 3) and JPEG files on
the same disc.
mp3 is an audio file format which compresses recorded music. It was developed by Fraunhofer Gesellschaft in collaboration with Thomson Inc.The main
advantage of the mp3 format is the ability to store CD-quality music tracks that are user-friendly and compressed on a personal computer. mp3 (MPEG-3,
which stands for Motion Picture Experts Group-Layer 3, meaning the third layer of information) is a format used to compress digital audio. Since the
audio is compressed, it takes up less space.
Note:You can only play true MP3 files in the DVD Recorder — some products use software to compress MP3 files and convert them to other formats such as MPX.Your DVD
Recorder won't recognize or play MPX files or other types of converted MP3 files.
JPEG files are image files. Make sure that they have a resolution of less than 5 megapixels.
Note:The time taken for the contents of the disc to be displayed varies according to the size and number of JPEG files actually on the disc. If nothing is displayed after a few
minutes, it is likely that certain files are too large. In this case, reduce the files' resolution to less than 5 megapixels and write another disc.
Creating an mp3 Disc on Your Computer
Your DVD Recorder handles MPEG-1, layer 3 audio. If you encode your own mp3 files 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:
Help — For more information regarding mp3 encoding software and MP3 sites, visit www.lyrazone.com.
Some transport modes (reverse and fast forward) are not available for mp3 CDs.
When burning multisession CDs, make sure you close the last session.
For more help and recommendations about mp3 files, go to page 52.
