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 HFS,
or others) are not supported.
The player recognizes a maximum of 2000
files and 255 folders (includes the ROOT
folder) 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 Blu-ray™ Disc 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, WMA and AAC)
The Blu-ray™ Disc player is capable of playing
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3), WMA (Windows
Media Audio) files and AAC (Advanced Audio
Coding) from a CD Data disc (usually a CD-R or
CD-RW) or DVD Data disc (usually a DVD-R or
DVD-RW).
The Blu-ray™ Disc player always uses the file
extension to determine the audio format, so
MP3 files must always end with the extension
“.mp3” or “.MP3” and WMA files must always
end with the extension “.wma” or “.WMA”
and AAC files must always end with the exten
-
sion and “.aac” or “.AAC” or “m4a”. To
prevent incorrect playback, do not use these
extensions for any other types of files.
For MP3 files, ID3v1, ID3v2 tag data (such as
artist name, track title, album, etc.) are
supported.
Any file that is copy protected (such as those
downloaded from many online music stores)
will not play. The Blu-ray™ player will auto -
matically skip the file and begin playing the
next available file.
Other compression formats such as MP3 Pro,
Ogg Vorbis, and ATRAC3 will not play. The
Blu-ray™ player will automatically skip the file
and begin playing the next available file.
If you are creating your own files, the recom -
mended fixed bit rate for MP3 files is
between 32 and 320Kbps and the recom -
mended fixed bit rate for WMA files is
between 16 and 192Kbps. Variable bit rates
are also supported. For both formats, the
recommended sample rate is either 44.1kHz
or 48kHz.
To change the current file, use the remote
control “Seek Forward” or “Seek Back”
buttons to return to the start of the current or
previous file.
