DVD players used in home systems usually do not support all DVD formats. Refer to the user guide
that came with your DVD player for a list of supported formats.

An MP3 file uses less space than other music file formats, and the process for creating an MP3
disc is the same as the process for creating a data file. MP3 files can be played only on MP3 players
or on computers with MP3 software installed.

To burn a CD or DVD, follow these steps:

1.

Download or copy the source files into a folder on your hard drive.

2.

Insert a blank CD or DVD into the optical drive (select models only) or an optional external optical
drive.

3.

Select Start > All Programs and the name of the software you want to use.

4.

Select the kind of CD or DVD you want to create—data, audio, or video.

5.

Right-click Start, click Open Windows Explorer, and then navigate to the folder where the source
files are stored.

6.

Open the folder, and then drag the files to the drive that contains the blank disc.

7.

Initiate the burning process as directed by the program you have selected.

For specific instructions, refer to the software manufacturer's instructions. These instructions may be
provided with the software, on disc, or on the manufacturer's Web site.
