Mp3/Jpeg Disc Playback - JVC CA-HXZ55D Instructions Manual

MP3/JPEG Disc Playback

This unit can play back MP3/JPEG files on a CD-R or CD-RW. We
call a disc containing MP3 files "MP3 disc" and a disc containing
JPEG files "JPEG disc" in this instruction.
• For details about other discs (DVD, SVCD, VCD, CD) playback,
see pages 29 to 33.
• In this instruction, "file" is also referred to as "track."
• Turn on your TV and select the correct input mode on the TV.
If " " appears on the TV when you press a button, the disc
cannot accept an operation you have tried to do.
Notes for MP3/JPEG discs
• MP3/JPEG discs (either CD-R or CD-RW) require a longer
readout time than normal discs. (It depends on the complexity of
the folder/file configuration.)
• When making an MP3/JPEG disc, select ISO 9660 Level 1 or
Level 2 as the disc format.
• This unit supports "multi-session" discs (up to 5 sessions).
• This unit cannot play "packet write" discs.
• Some MP3/JPEG discs may not be played back because of their
disc characteristics or recording conditions.
• If both MP3 files and JPEG files are recorded on a disc, change
the MP3/JPEG setting in the PICTURE menu to play the desired
files (see page 61).
Notes for MP3 files
• This unit can play MP3 files only with the following file
extensions: ".MP3", ".Mp3", ".mP3" and ".mp3".
• ID3* tags cannot be shown on the display.
* An MP3 file can contain file information called an "ID3 Tag"
where its album name, performer, track title, etc. are recorded.
• It is recommended that you make each MP3 file at a sampling rate
of 44.1 kHz and at bit rate of 128 kbps. The unit cannot play back
files made at bit rate of less than 64 kbps.
Notes for JPEG files
• The unit can play JPEG files only with the following file
extensions: ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".JPG", ".JPEG" and any uppercase
and lowercase combinations (such as ".Jpg").
• It is recommended that you record a file at 640 x 480 resolution.
(If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480,
it will take a longer time to be shown.)
• This system can play only baseline JPEG files*. Progressive JPEG
files* or lossless JPEG files* cannot be played.
* – Baseline JPEG format:
– Progressive JPEG format: Used for web.
– Lossless JPEG format:
• This unit may not play back properly JPEG files which are
recorded by the devices other than digital still camera.
Some tracks on an MP3/JPEG disc are skipped and may
not be played back normally
This is not malfunction. It may result from their recording processes
and conditions.
Used for digital cameras, web, etc.
An old type and rarely used now.
