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.

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.
