About MP3 audio tracks and JPEG
image files
MP3 is audio compression technology that
satisfies ISO/MPEG regulations. JPEG is image
compression technology.
You can play MP3 (MPEG1 Audio Layer 3)
format audio tracks and JPEG image files on
DATA CDs (CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs).
DATA CDs discs must be recorded according to
ISO9660 Level 1, Level 2 or Joliet format for the
recorder to recognize the MP3 tracks.
See the instructions supplied with the CD-R/CD-
RW drives and the recording software (not
supplied) for details on the recording format.
Note on Multi Session/Border discs
If MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image files are
recorded in the first session/border, the recorder
will also play MP3 audio tracks or JPEG image
files in other sessions/borders. If audio tracks and
images in Music CD format or Video CD format
are recorded in the first session/border, only the
first session/border will be played back.
Note
The recorder may not be able to play certain DATA CDs
created in the Packet Write format.
