Compatible Formats

In order to ensure playback, discs must
conform with BD, DVD or CD standards.
This unit may not play some recordings or
files due to differences in recording formats,
software used, and disc types.
BD-ROM
BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory)
are commercially produced discs and are
available in the same capacities as BD below.
Other than conventional movie and video
contents, these discs have enhanced features
such as interactive content, menu operations
using pop-up menus, selection of subtitle
display, and slide show. Although a BD-ROM
may contain any form of data, most BD ROM
discs will contain movies in High Definition
format, for playback on Blu-ray Disc players.
Blu-ray Disc (BD)
A disc format developed for recording/
playing high-definition (HD) video (for
HDTV, etc.), and for storing large amounts of
data. A single layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to
25 GB of data, and a dual-layer Blu-ray Disc
holds up to 50 GB of data.
DVD-Video
Digital video discs - 12 cm, single or double
sided, single or dual layer. DVDs are high
density optical discs on which high quality
picture and audio are recorded by means of
digital signals.
DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW
Most DVD-R and DVD+R (one recording
only), DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs
(rewritable), depending on the DVD
writer and discs used.
Recordings using DVD-R and DVD-
RW discs must be made in Video DVD mode.
Recordings using DVD+RW discs must be
made in accordance with the specifications
for DVD+RW discs with a 4.7 GB capacity.
Audio CDs
Audio CDs (12 cm).
CD-R, CD-RW
Most CD-R (one recording only) and CD-RW
discs (rewritable).
CD-Rs written during a multisession
recording can be played, provided that the
session has ended before the disc is played
(depending on the write software).
However, depending on the condition of the
CD-writer, computer, and the disc used, you
may find that not all discs will play. When
playing a CD-R disc, it is normal for the unit
to take up to 60 seconds to recognize the
disc before starting to play.
If the disc is not recognized after a period
of 120 seconds, remove the disc, and insert
it again.
• Do not use its full capacity.
• CD-Rs should be preferably used instead
of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain
cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty.
• Use reliable, good-quality CD write
software.
• Close all other applications on the
computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc
recording.
JPEG Files
CD-R and CD-RW with JPEG files. Certain
JPEG files, including progressive JPEG files,
cannot be read by this unit.
The total number of files and folders on the
disc should be less than 650. Make sure that
files have the ".jpg" extension. Files without
the ".jpg" extension will not be able to be
DVD+Rewritable
read by the unit - even though the files are
shown as JPEG images on your computer.
