Tips for making your own CDs
The DVE-5300 plays DVD Video, Video CD, 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.*
