Appendix A: Supported Formats
Originally designed for audio use, the Compact Disc (CD) evolved quickly and now
employs a wide variety of formats for audio, data, and multimedia applications. The
following is a list of the most popular formats currently supported by the 5000 Series.
Periodic firmware updates will be made available to deal with new formats as they
appear. To obtain the latest version of firmware, contact your MF DIGITAL reseller or
download the update from the MF DIGITAL web site: www.MFDIGITAL.com
Many CD formats are international or industry standards, but variations on them may
emerge from time to time. Should you encounter a disc (which does not employ a copy
protection scheme) that you cannot copy on your 5000 Series, MF DIGITAL will do its
best to promptly add support for this format. Dealing with custom formats, however, may
be subject to a development charge.
Keeping track of how the various formats relate to each other can be confusing. For
example, the 5000 Series can copy all CD-ROM Mode 1 discs - this includes ISO 9660,
HFS, Hybrid, Rock Ridge and many other types of file systems. As a result, the 5000
Series will most likely copy CD formats not listed in the table below. If you require
further assistance, please contact MF DIGITAL’s technical support department at (610)
