198 MULTIMEDIA
Recorded Discs
The Blu-ray™ Disc 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 recorded) are not
supported.
If you record a disc using a personal computer,
there may be cases where the Blu-ray™ Disc
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.
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 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 and WMA)
The Blu-ray™ Disc 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 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”. 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
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 AAC,
MP3 Pro, Ogg Vorbis, and ATRAC3 will not
play. The Blu-ray™ player will automatically
skip the file and begin playing the next avail-
able file.
If you are creating your own files, the recom-
mended fixed bit rate for MP3 files is
between 96 and 192 Kbps and the recom-
mended fixed bit rate for WMA files is
between 64 and 192Kbps. Variable bit rates
are also supported. For both formats, the
recommended sample rate is either 44.1 kHz
or 48 kHz.
To change the current file, use the remote
control’s or Blu-ray™ Disc player’s ? button to
advance to the next file, or the ? button to
return to the start of the current or previous file.
