b Notes
• The recorder will play any data with the
extension “.mp3,” “.jpeg,” “.jpg,” “.avi,” or
“.divx” even if they are not in MP3, JPEG, or
DivX format. Playing these data may generate a
loud noise which could damage your speaker
system.
• Depending on the disc, normal playback may not
be possible. For example, the picture may be
unclear, playback may not appear smooth, the
sound may skip, and so on.
• Depending on the disc, playback may take some
time to start.
• Some files cannot be played.
• For MP3 audio tracks and DivX video files, the
recorder can play up to 99 albums each on a
DATA CD or DATA DVD. Up to 99 tracks and
files under an album can be played.
• For JPEG image files, the recorder can load up to
99 albums and/or up to 999 files under an album
