You can also play DATA CDs recorded in Multi 
Session (page 43), although DATA DVDs 
recorded in Multi Session are not playable.
Refer to the instructions supplied with the disc 
drives and the recording software (not supplied) 
for details on the recording format.

About playback order of data on 
DATA CDs or DATA DVDs

See “Playback order of MP3 audio tracks or 
JPEG image files” (page 44).
 Note that the 
playback order may not be applicable, 
depending on the software used for creating the 
DivX video file, or if there are more than 200 
albums and 600 DivX video files in each album.

• The system may not be able to play some DATA 

CDs/DATA DVDs created in the Packet Write 
format.

DivX video files that the system 
can play

The system can play data that is recorded in 
DivX format, and which has the extension 
“.AVI,” or “.DIVX.” The system will not play 
files with the extension “.AVI” or “.DIVX” if 
they do not contain a DivX video.

• For details about playable MP3 audio tracks or JPEG 

image files on DATA CDs, see “Discs that the system 
can play” (page 43).

• The system may not play a DivX video file when the 

file has been combined from two or more DivX video 
files.

• The system cannot play a DivX video file of size 

more than 720 (width) x 576 (height) or 2GB.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the picture may be 

unclear or the sound may skip.

• The system cannot play some DivX video files that 

are longer than 3 hours.

Playing DivX Video Files

You can play DivX video files on DATA CDs 
(CD-ROMs/CD-Rs/CD-RWs) and DATA 
DVDs (DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/
DVD+RWs).

• You can view the disc information while playing a 

DivX video file (page 56).

• If there are no DivX video files recorded on a DATA 

DVD, a message appears to indicate that the disc is 
not playable.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the picture may 

pause or be unclear. In which case, it is recommended 
that you create the file at a lower bit rate. If the sound 
is still noisy, MP3 is the recommended audio format. 
Note, however, this system does not conform to 
WMA (Windows Media Audio) format.

• Because of the compression technology used for 

DivX video files, it may take some time after you 
press 

H

 for the picture to appear.

• Depending on the DivX video file, the sound may not 

match the pictures on the screen.
