Advanced MP3/WMA/JPEG and audio CD features

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com
The DV78 DVD player has the ability to handle MP3, WMA and
JPEG files, when these are burned on to a CD-R or CD-RW disc.
Picture/Photo CDs are also playable. These file types may be
mixed together, if desired.
This section explains the more sophisticated CD-based features,
for audio CDs and for CD-ROM discs containing MP3, WMA and
JPEG files. The operation for audio-CDs and other CD-ROMs is
very similar, except that CD-ROMs can have directories and sub-
directories, while audio-CDs do not have a directory structure.
In this section of the document, we use the term 'CD-ROM' to
refer to a CD-R or CD-RW disc containing MP3, WMA or JPEG
files, and including Picture/Photo CDs.
All of these advanced features use on-screen menus, so a TV
monitor is required.

Player mode

When playing audio-CDs or CD-ROMs, the player can be in one
of three modes:
Browse mode: the user is free to navigate around the disc
directory structure (while playback is stopped). Valid files/tracks
in each directory (audio-CD tracks or files that can be played) are
displayed on the screen. Pressing
valid file/track will start playback from that point, continuing to the
end of the disc. Alternatively, the 'PD' or 'PAF' buttons can be used
to start playback.
Programme mode: Press
'Programme' mode to choose the order in which the files/tracks
are played. Playback must be stopped first. 'Programme' mode
operates differently for audio-CDs and MP3 discs, and is explained
on page 19.
Playlist mode: The player is in this mode when a programmed
86:28:15 00:03:27
sequence of files/tracks is being played. No navigation of the
PAF PD
disc may be performed in this mode; the player starts at the
beginning of the programmed playlist and plays through to the
end.

Browsing the disc (Browse mode)

By default, the disc navigator is in 'Browse' mode. In this mode,
the user can navigate around the disc (using the cursor pad
Year: ----

is highlighted, the tag information for that file (if available)
is displayed in the lower portion of the screen. Use the 'Up'
button to move to a higher-level directory; to enter a lower-level
directory, press
At any time, press

directory is possible during playback, but playback stops
automatically if you attempt to navigate out of the current

directory.
Directory trees may be up to 10 directories deep.
Long file names, of up to 64 characters (Joliet standard),
are supported.
