MP3 disc playback

The unit can play back MP3 files on a personally
recorded CD-R/RW disc or commercial CD. We refer to a
disc that contains MP3 file as an "MP3 disc" in this
manual.
Though functions available with MP3 discs are limited,
operations for the available functions are similar to those
for Audio CD discs.
Note that if a disc contains both of MP3 and JPEG files,
you can only play back files of the type selected by the
MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE preference display
(see page 59).
What is MP3?
"MP3" stands for "MPEG Audio Layer-3," and is a part
of the MPEG standard. It can store high quality stereo
audio using very little space by only saving the
audible sounds and discarding the sounds your ears
won't pick up. A CD can store up to around 10 hours
of MP3 audio, which is nearly 10 times as much as an
Audio CD.
NOTE
Make sure that the TV - DVD switch on

the remote control unit is set to "DVD"
when using the 5/∞/2/3 and numeric
buttons for controlling the unit.

About MP3 discs

On an MP3 disc, each song is recorded as a file. Files are
sometimes grouped into folders by artists, album,
category, etc. Folders can exist within other folders,
creating hierarchical layers of folders. If you are familiar
with personal computers, the hierarchical file and folder
structure of an MP3 disc will be familiar to you as well.
This unit simplifies the hierarchical structure of a disc
and manages files and folders using "Tracks" and
"Groups," in the following manner.
• Each file is regarded as a Track.
• A folder which has one or more files (Tracks) is
regarded as a Group.
• A folder which does not directly contain any files is
ignored.
• Files which do not belong to any folder are grouped
into "Group 1."
• The unit recognizes up to 150 Tracks per Group, and
up to 99 Groups per disc. It ignores those exceeding
the maximum numbers and cannot play them back. If
there are files other than MP3 files, they also count
against the 150-file total.
