???If different type of files (audio (MP3/WMA), still picture (JPEG), and video (MPEG4) files) are recorded on a disc, set the
FILE TYPE setting in the PICTURE menu to the appropriate setting for the data to be read. (A pg. 38)
???The system recognizes up to 150 tracks (files) per group, 99 groups per disc, and the total number of the tracks (files) that the
system can play is 1000. For example, if you set FILE TYPE to AUDIO (A pg. 38) and play a disc that contains 500 MP3 tracks, 200 JPEG files, and 600 WMA tracks, the system can play 500 MP3 tracks and the first 500 of 600 WMA tracks.
???Some MP3/WMA/JPEG/MPEG4 discs may not be played back normally because of their disc characteristics or recording conditions.
Notes on MP3/WMA discs only
???The system supports MP3 files recorded with a bit rate of 32 ??? 320 kbps and a sampling frequency of 16 kHz, 22.05 kHz,
24 kHz*, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz.
???If the tag information (album name, artist, and track title, etc.) is
recorded on a disc, it appears in the file control display on the TV screen. (A pg. 29)
???We recommend to record each piece of material (song) at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz and at a data transfer rate of
128 (96*) kbps.
???Some tracks may be skipped or may not be played back normally.
*For WMA only
Notes on JPEG discs only
???We recommend to record a file at 640 x 480 resolution. (If a file has been recorded at a resolution of more than 640 x 480, it will take a longer time to be displayed.)
???This system can only play baseline JPEG files.
???Some files on a JPEG disc may be played back distortedly.
Notes on MPEG4 disc only
???The system supports the types of simple profile as MPEG4 files (MPEG4 SP).
???The system supports MPEG4 files recorded with the maximum bit rate of 384 kbps and an audio codec of G.726. (To play the MPEG4 file, it is required that G.726 formatted audio data is contained in that file.)
???The maximum size of the played picture is at a 352 x 288 pixel resolution (CIF).
???Some files may be skipped or may not be played normally.

???The speakers are magnetically shielded to avoid color distortions on TVs. However, if not installed properly, they may cause color distortions. So, pay attention to the following when installing the speakers.
???When placing the speakers near a TV set, turn off the TV???s main power switch or unplug it before installing the speakers. Then wait
at least 30 minutes before turning on the TV???s main power switch again.
Some TVs may still be affected even though you have followed the above. If this happens, move the speakers away from the TV.

7How the Enhanced Other Network function actually works
Case 1
If there is no station broadcasting the program you have selected
The system continues tuning in to the current station.
???
When a station starts broadcasting the program you have selected, the system automatically switches to the station. The indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
???
When the program is over, the system goes back to the previously tuned station, but the Enhanced Other Network function still remains activated.
Case 2
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting the program you have selected
The system continues to receive the station but the indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
???
When the program is over, the indicator of received PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the Enhanced Other Network function still remains activated.
NOTE
???In Enhanced Other Network standby mode, if you change the source to play, Enhanced Other Network standby mode is canceled temporarily.
If you change the source to FM again, the system returns to Enhanced Other Network standby mode.
???Enhanced Other Network data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this system.
???Enhanced Other Network does not function for some FM stations with RDS service.
???While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network function, the station does not change even if another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same Enhanced Other Network data.
???While listening to a program tuned in by the Enhanced Other Network function, you can only use TA/NEWS/INFO and RDS DISPLAY as the tuner operation buttons.
