Tips for making your own CDs
The DVA-9965 plays DVD Video, Video CD, Audio CD and has
a built in MP3/WMA decoder.
The following information is designed to help you create your
own music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3/WMA encoded CD-R/
RW files).
What is the difference between an Audio and MP3/WMA
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) is a data file that uses a
compression scheme to reduce the size of the music file.*
Hybrid Audio CD and Data (MP3/WMA) CD-R/RW discs:
The DVA-9965 can read either sector on the disc. Choose CD-DA
to play the CD audio section or MP3/WMA to play the MP3/
WMA section.*
