Using the On-screen Info Display
The on-screen Info Display contains the information for all of the advanced settings of the disc,
including subtitles, angles, etc. To see the Info Display, press the INFO button on the remote while
a disc is playing (the Info Display appears at the top of the screen).
You can change the appropriate setting by pressing the corresponding button on the remote control.
For example, to change the camera angles, press the ANGLE button. A list of available angles appear,
if available. Remember, the feature must be available on the disc in order for you to change them.
To make the Info Display disappear from the screen, press INFO on the remote control.
Playing Discs You Recorded (DVD±R and DVD±RW)
Playback of DVD±R and DVD±RW discs that you used to record programs is explained in Chapter
2 (go to page 25).
Playing mp3, WMA, JPEG, or DivX fi les
Your DVD recorder can play unprotected mp3 fi les, JPEG fi les, DivX fi les and unprotected WMA
fi les.
mp3 is an audio fi le 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 fi les in the DVD recorder—some products use
software to compress mp3 fi les and convert them to other formats such as MPX.
Your DVD recorder won't recognize or play MPX fi les or other types of converted
mp3 fi les.
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is another audio fi le format developed by Microsoft.
JPEG fi les are image fi les. Make sure that they have a resolution of less than 5 megapixels
(approximately 2MB).
Note: The time taken for the contents of the disc to be displayed varies according to
the size and number of JPEG fi les actually on the disc. If nothing is displayed after a
few minutes, it is likely that certain fi les are too large. In this case, reduce the fi les'
resolution to less than 5 megapixels (approximately 2MB) and write another disc.
