DVD Audio Support
When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the VES™ DVD
player, the DVD-Audio title on the disc is played by
default (most DVD-Audio discs also have a Video title,
but the Video title is ignored). All multi-channel program
material is automatically mixed down to two channels,
which may result in a lowered apparent volume level.
If you increase the volume level to account for this
change in level, remember to lower the volume before
changing the disc or to another mode.
Recorded Discs
The VES™ DVD player will play CD-R and CD-RW discs
recorded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a
CD-ROM containing MP3 or WMA files. The player will
also play DVD-Video content recorded to a DVD-R or
DVD-RW disc. DVD-ROM discs (either pressed or re-
corded) are not supported.If you record a disc using a personal computer, there may
be cases where the VES™ DVD player may not be able to
play some or the entire disc, even if it is recorded in a
compatible format and is playable on other players.
To help avoid playback problems, use the following
guidelines when recording discs.
•Open sessions are ignored. Only sessions that are
closed are playable.
•For multi-session CDs that contain only multiple CD-
Audio sessions, the player will renumber the tracks so
each track number is unique.
•For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use the
ISO-9660 (Level 1 or Level 2), Joliet, or Romeo format.
Other formats (such as UDF, HFS, or others) are not
supported.

Page 365 of 630

•The player recognizes a maximum of 512 files and
99 folders per CD-R and CD-RW disc.
•Mixed media recordable DVD formats will only play
the Video_TS portion of the disc.
If you are still having trouble writing a disc that is
playable in the VES™ DVD player, check with the disc
recording software publisher for more information about
burning playable discs.
The recommended method for labeling recordable discs
(CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-R) is with a permanent marker.
Do not use adhesive labels as they may separate from the
disc, become stuck, and cause permanent damage to the
DVD player.Compressed Audio Files (MP3 and WMA)
The DVD player is capable of playing MP3 (MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Windows Media Audio) files
from a CD Data disc (usually a CD-R or CD-RW).
•The DVD player always uses the file extension to
determine the audio format, so MP3 files must always
end with the extension.mp3or.MP3and WMA
files must always end with the extension.wmaor
.WMA. To prevent incorrect playback, do not use
these extensions for any other types of files.
•For MP3 files, only version 1 ID3 tag data (such as
artist name, track title, album, etc.) are supported.
•Any file that is copy protected (such as those down-
loaded from many online music stores) will not play.
The DVD player will automatically skip the file and
begin playing the next available file.
