Tips for making your own CDs
The DHA-S690 plays DVD Video, DVD Audio, Video CD,
Audio CD, DivX
®
and has a built in MP3/WMA/AAC decoder.
The following information is designed to help you create your
own music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3/WMA/AAC encoded
CD-R/RW files).
What is the difference between an Audio and MP3/WMA/
AAC CD?
An Audio CD is the same format as the commercial CDs you buy
in the store (also known as CD-DA). MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer
3)/WMA (Windows Media Audio)/AAC (Advanced Audio
Coding) is a data file that uses a compression scheme to reduce
the size of the music file.*
Hybrid Audio CD and Data (MP3/WMA/AAC) CD-R/RW
discs:
The DHA-S690 can read either sector on the disc. Choose
CD-DA to play the CD audio section or MP3/WMA/AAC to play
the MP3/WMA/AAC section.*
Multi session CD-R/RW:
Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered one
session. If the disc is not closed (finalised), additional data may
be added. Once this additional data has been recorded, this
becomes a “multi-session” CD. The DHA-S690 can only read
multi-session DATA Formatted discs (MP3/WMA/AAC files -
Not Audio CD files).
Properly formatted MP3/WMA/AAC Discs:
Use ISO9660 formatting to insure proper playback. You may use
standard ISO naming Level 1 (8.3 DOS standard), Level 2 (32
characters) or Joliet (Windows or Macintosh long filenames) file
naming conventions*.
* Please consult the Owner’s manual for additional information.
