The correct playing of DivX in your player, depends on the preparation and production of the audio and video files, the codecs used, the type of recording equipment employed and the parameters of your computer. It is therefore possible that you cannot play a DivX file or that part or all of it is defective. It can also sometimes happen that you can play the images (video) but not the sound (audio). To guarantee playback of DivX files the audio must be mp3 format. DivX Certified devices can play back any interleaved mp3 audio at any bitrate, both CBR and VBR. The audio must be sampled at standard frequencies, such as 32 khz, 44. 1khz, and 48khz, and must conform to the AVI file specification. Apart from mp3, the audio formats recognised by your player are MPEG layer 1/2, AC3, DTS, PCM. Formats such as AAC and Ogg Vorbis are not supported by this player. EN To play DivX files 1. Put in a disc and start the player. The player analyses the contents of the disk and then displays a context menu. Select the DivX file that you wish to play with the or keys on the remote control and press OK to select it. Note: to de-select the choice press the CLEAR key on the remote control or select another title and confirm it using the OK key. 3. To rent (purchase) DivX VOD files ® DivX VOD files are comparable to DVD video rental discs and permit a video film to be viewed. The difference lies in the access to the media. DivX VOD files are downloaded after paying a rental from certain commercial Internet sites. In order to permit the downloading of VOD you need to input on the purchase form of the site, the registration number of your DVD player. [. . . ] Connecting the player in this way is also recommended for Video DVDs. Many Audio DVDs contain video, in the form of information (bibliographies, titles list, etc. ), video clips, photos, etc. Audio DVDs contain large amounts of varied information. The way in which this information is presented varies from one disc to another. With some Audio DVDs, you can display the images contained on the disc, one at a time, using the info banner's Browser (Browse) icon. Note : in accordance with the DVD standard and the protection of copyright, the quality of the Audio signals available through the digital output connections (marked (6) on page 6) is limited, to match that of Audio CDs (48 KHz/16 bits). Hidden information is sometimes contained on a disc. [. . . ]
