DivX is the name of a revolutionary new video codec which is based on the new MPEG  
- 4 compression standard for video.Whether DivX files play correctly on your player  
or not depends on the preparation and production of the audio and video files, the  
codecs and the type of recording equipment used, as well as on your computer’s  
parameters. It is therefore possible that you cannot play a DivX file or that part  
or all of it is defective. It also sometimes happens that you can play the images  
(video) but not the sound (audio). DivX disc compatibility with this play er is limited as  
follows: The maximumresolution of the DivX file is below 720x576 (W x H) pixels.  
DivX filenames should not exceed 56 characters. If the video and audio structure of  
the recorded file is not interleaved, either video or audio is outputted. If the file is  
recorded with GMC, the unit supports only 1-point GMC. GMC is the acronym for  
Global Motion Compensation. It is an encoding tool specified in the MPEG4 standard.  
Some MPEG4 encoders, like DivX or XviD, have this option.There are different levels  
of GMC encoding, usually called 1 - point, 2 - point, or 3 - point GMC. DivX files  
with subtitles in . SRT, . SUB and . SMI formats can be played. Correct playback  
of all languages may not be possible as some characters may be missing.  
Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol-based products risks damaging the appliance.

mp3 files  
CD-R and CD-RW discs containing audio files in mp3 format.With regard to CD-R mp3 discs,  
please follow all the recommendations for CD-R above,along with the comments below:  
This THOMSON product is designed and  
manufactured with high quality materials and  
components which can be recycled and reused.  
Your mp3 files should be ISO 9660 or JOLIET format.ISO 9660 format and Joliet mp3 files are  
compatible with Microsoft DOS andWindows,as well as withApple Mac.These two formats  
are the most widely used. mp3 filenames should not exceed 8 characters and should end with  
the".mp3" extension. General name format:Title.mp3.When composing your title ensure that  
you use 8 characters or less,have no spaces in the name,and avoid the use of special characters  
including (.,/ ,\ ,= ,+). The total number of files on a disc should be less than 999.The total  
number of folders should be less than 499. Use a decompression transfer rate of at least 128  
kB/sec (kilobytes/second) when recording mp3 files.Sound quality with mp3 files basically  
depends on the rate of compression/ decompression you choose.Obtaining audio CD quality  
sound requires an analogue/digital sampling rate,that is conversion to mp3 format,of at least  
128 kB/sec and up to 160 kB/sec.Choosing higher rates,such as 192 kB/sec or more,only rarely  
produces even better sound quality.Conversely,files with sampling rates below 128 kB/sec will  
not play properly. Do not try recording copyright-protected mp3 files. "Securized" files are  
encrypted and code-protected to prevent illegal copying.You must not copy such files.

This player can play most CD-R discs.CD-Rs written during a multisession recording can also  
be played,provided that the session has ended before the disc is played (depending on the write  
software).However,depending on the condition of the CD-writer,computer and the disc used,  
you may find that not all discs will play successfully.When playing a CD-R disc,it is completely  
normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognise the disc before starting to play.If the  
disc is not recognised after a period of 20 seconds,remove the disc,and then insert it again.  
Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of the CD-R,do not use its full capacity. CD-Rs  
should be preferably used instead of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as,in certain cases,CD-RW
