CD-R and CD-RW discs with JPEG format “image” files 

To view your JPEG images on a TV set you do not need to record your photographs with a
resolution above 400,000 pixels (which corresponds to an image format of about 720 x 576 dots),
for television screens do not allow a higher quality given their limited characteristics. In this case
ensure that you reduce the quality of your photographs before recording on a disc in order not
to impede the proper running of your player.This is because excessively loaded pictures would
slow down or might prevent the proper functioning of the slide show during playback on your
player. Compatibility of JPEG files depends on the software on which they were created and on
the size of files expressed in pixels. Some JPEG files, including Progressive JPEG files (display in
stages) cannot be played on this appliance.

Video CD (VCD) discs

VCD (Video Compact Disc) discs enable up to 74 minutes of VHS quality video associated with
still pictures, audio tracks and interactive menus to be recorded on a CD.

Super Video CD (SVCD) discs

SVCD (Super Video Compact Disc) discs comply with standard IEC62107, making it possible to
record up to 70 minutes of digital images and sound at standard MPEG-2 for video and MPEG-1
for audio. Compatibility of SVCD discs depends on the MPEG coding software, the disc design
software, as well as the recording software used and the discs themselves.

DVD discs recorded in NTSC 

If you have a PAL 60 Hz TV set, you can view discs recorded according to NTSC colour standard
(see page 22).

DVD-R and DVD-RW discs

Your player can play DVD-R and DVD+R (single recording) and DVD-RW and DVD+RW 
(re-recordable) discs. Recordings on DVD-RW discs must be made in DVD Video mode.
Recordings on DVD+RW discs must be made in accordance with the specifications for the 4.7 Gb
capacity DVD+RW disc format. Compatibility is dependent on which DVD writer, writer software
and disks are used.

Important: Despite considerable progress made in providing compatibility with as many different discs as
possible, reading of discs not conforming to Audio CD, Video CD and Super Video CD (S-VCD) disc standards
cannot be guaranteed.
