Tips for making your own discs The INA-W900 plays DVD Video and Audio CD 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 INA-W900 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*. Multisession CD-R/RW: Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered one session. If the disc is not closed (finalized), additional data may be added. Once this additional data has been recorded, this becomes a "multisession" CD. The INA-W900 can only read multisession 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. On handling compact discs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW) • Do not touch the surface. • Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight. • Do not affix stickers or labels. • Clean the disc when it is dusty. • Make sure that the disc is smooth and flat. • Do not use commercially available disc accessories. Do not leave the disc in the car or the unit for a long time. Never expose the disc to direct sunlight. Heat and humidity may damage the disc and you may not be able to play it again. 11-EN
