MP3 PLAYBACK
The DVD 25 is rare among DVD players in that it is able to play back discs recorded with MP3 files. This means that you may enjoy the latest music using discs created in your computer through the high-quality audio components in your home theater system. As the way that MP3 files are recorded on discs differs from the way conventional CD audio discs are structured, MP3 playback is somewhat different from that of standard CDs. Important Note on MP3 Playback: MP3 discs may contain 200 tracks or even more. To get the best overview about all tracks on the disc and their names and to select or program them comfortably use the on-screen display rather than the front-panel display. The front-panel display will only show the number and the elapsed time of the track being played. MP3 Disc Playback After an MP3 disc is loaded and the tray closed, the DVD 25 will read the table of contents (TOC). At the same time a listing of all the directories on the disc (if the disc was made with several directories) and of all tracks within the root directory on the disc will appear on the video screen similar to the figure below. When any of the tracks is selected and played (see below), the name and elapsed time of the track currently played is displayed on top. The right side of the screen will initially be blank, as that is used for programming playlists for MP3 playback. During MP3 playback, some of the standard CD/DVD playback controls operate in their normal fashion: � You may skip forward to the next track on the disc by pressing the Next Button 7F. � You may skip back to the current or previous track on the disc by pressing the Prev Button 6E once or twice. � Press the Pause Button 4C to momentarily stop playback. Press the Play Button 3G to resume play. Press the Stop Button 5I twice to enter stop mode. � You may search through tracks forward or in reverse by pressing the appropriate Search Buttons HJ on the remote. All other buttons (including the numeric buttons) will have no function with MP3 playback, except the Prog Button T and Clear Button V, which are needed for programmed playback (see below). NOTES ON MP3 PLAYBACK � During MP3 playback, the front-panel display and the time indicator on the screen above the list will show the elapsed time of the track being played. Other time display options are not available with MP3 playback. � The DVD 25 is only compatible with standard MP3encoded discs. Other compressed audio formats used for Internet audio downloads will not play on the DVD 25. � Due to the differences in various versions of the MP3 format, and the many differences between the CD-R machines used to record MP3 discs on a computer, it is possible that some MP3 discs may not play on the DVD 25 even though they will work on a computer. This is normal and does not indicate a fault with the unit. � When a multisession disc with both standard CD audio and MP3 content is in use, the DVD 25 will play only the CD audio sections of the disc. � When an MP3 disc with multiple directories is playing, only tracks from one directory can be displayed and played at a time. Select the desired directory and press the Play Button 3G to start the first track. To see and play tracks from other directories, first you must select that directory, then select the track and press the Play Button 3G. Programmed Playback With MP3 Discs The DVD 25 is capable of creating playlists up to 200 tracks long with the MP3 files on a properly recorded disc. To create a playback list for MP3 titles, follow these steps: Step 1: Load a compatible MP3 disc; the MP3 Playlist Editor will appear on the screen. Step 2: Use the K or LNavigation Buttons 9 to select the directory and the first track to be programmed, as described above, and press the Prog Button T. The track name and its position number in the Playlist will now appear on the right side of the screen. Step 3: Repeat Step 2 above until all desired tracks are added to the Playlist. Step 4: To remove a track from the Playlist, first press the M or N Navigation Buttons 9 so that the highlight bar moves to the right side of the screen. Use the K or L Navigation Buttons 9 to highlight the track to be deleted and press the Clear Button V. Step 5: To clear all the tracks in the Playlist, press the M or N Navigation Buttons 9 until the CLEAR ALL box at the bottom of the right side of the screen is highlighted and press the Enter Button 9. Step 6: To play the tracks on the list, press the N Navigation Button 9 to move the cursor to the Playlist and select the first track to be played with the K or L Navigation Buttons 9, then press the Play Button 3G. All tracks on the list will be played one after another, starting with the track selected. While any track is playing, its number and elapsed time will be indicated on the front and on-screen and the name of the track will appear on top of the screen. You can skip to another programmed track with the Next Buttons 7F and Prev Buttons 6E any time or by selecting a track from the Playlist and pressing the Enter Button 9 or Play Button 3G. Once a Playlist is created, it will remain available as long as the disc is not changed or the power turned off. You may play any track on the disc, not only of the program created, without erasing the Playlist by pressing the M or N Navigation Buttons to return the highlight bar to the left side of the screen and selecting the track and pressing the Enter Button 9 or Play Button 3G.

To select a directory (if any), press the �/� Navigation Buttons 9 until the desired directory name is highlighted, then press the Enter Button 9. To select a track, press the �/� Navigation Buttons 9 until the desired track name is highlighted. If the list of tracks is longer than will fit on the screen, press the M Navigation Button 9 to move the cursor to the �+10� or ��10� box on the left and press the Enter Button 9 to jump through a list of the track numbers by +10 or �10. Then press the N Navigation Button 9 to return to the list. To start the track selected on the list, press the Enter Button 9 or Play Button 3G.
