What is MP3/JPEG?
MP3 is audio compression technology that 
satisfies the ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is 
image compression technology.
Discs that the system can 
play
You can play back DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-
Rs/CD-RWs) or DATA DVDs (DVD-Rs/DVD-
RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs/DVD-ROMs) 
recorded in MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3) or 
JPEG format. However, the DATA CDs must be 
recorded according to ISO 9660 Level 1, Level 
2 or Joliet format and DATA DVDs of Universal 
Disk Format (UDF) for the system to recognize 
the tracks (or files). You can also play discs 
recorded in Multi Session.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/
CD-RW or DVD-R/DVD-RW drives and the 
recording software (not supplied) for details on 
the recording format.
About the Multi-Session disc
If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are 
recorded in the first session, the system will also 
play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files in 
other sessions. If audio tracks and images in 
audio CD format or video CD format are 
recorded in the first session, only the first 
session will be played back.
Note The system may not be able to play some DATA 
CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write 
format.
MP3 audio track or JPEG 
image file that the system can 
play
The system can play the MP3 audio tracks or 
JPEG image files: which have the extension “.MP3” (MP3 audio 
track) or “.JPG”/“.JPEG” (JPEG image file)
 which conform to the DCF* image file format
* “Design rule for Camera File system”: Image 
standards for digital cameras regulated by Japan 
Electronics and Information Technology Industries 
Association (JEITA).
Note
 The system will play any data with the 
extension “.MP3,” “.JPG,” or “.JPEG” even if 
they are not in MP3 or JPEG format. Playing 
this data may generate a loud noise which 
could damage your speaker system.
 The system does not conform to audio in 
MP3PRO format.
Playback order of MP3 audio 
tracks or JPEG image files
The playback order of MP3 audio tracks or 
JPEG image files recorded on a DATA CD or 
DATA DVD is as follows:
xStructure of disc contents
About MP3 Audio Tracks 
and JPEG Image Files

When you insert a DATA CD or DATA DVD 
and press H, the numbered tracks (or files) are 
played sequentially, from 1 through 7. Any 
sub-albums/tracks (or files) contained within a 
currently selected album take priority over the 
next album in the same tree. (Example: C 
contains D so 4 is played before 5.)
When you press MENU and the list of album 
names appears (page 45), the album names are 
arranged in the following order:
A t B t C t D t F t G. Albums 
that do not contain tracks (or files) (such as 
album E) do not appear in the list.
Tip If you add numbers (01, 02, 03, etc.) to the front of the 
track (or file) names when you store the tracks (or 
files) in a disc, the tracks (or files) will be played in 
that order.
 A disc with many trees takes longer to start playback.
Note Playback order may differ from the illustration 
depending on the software you use to create the 
DATA CD or DATA DVD, or if there are more than 
200 albums and 300 files in each album.
 The system can recognize up to 200 albums, and will 
not play any albums beyond the 200th.
 The system may take longer time to playback, when 
progressing to the following album or jump to other 
album.
 Some type of JPEG files cannot be played.
