Flawed discs, discs with fingerprints, discs exposed to extreme
temperatures or sunlight (e.g., left in the car or this unit), discs
recorded under unstable conditions, discs on which a recording

which do not conform to the audio CD industry standard.

ISO9660 level 1 or level 2. For details, see page 16.
To customers using CD-R/CD-RW

Tips for making your own CDs
The DVE-5207 plays DVD Video, Video CD, Audio CD and has
a built in MP3 decoder.
The following information is designed to help you create your
own music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3 encoded CD-R/RW
files).
What is the difference between an Audio and MP3 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) is a data file that uses a compression scheme to reduce the size
of the music file.*
Hybrid Audio CD and Data (MP3) CD-R/RW discs:
The DVE-5207 can read either sector on the disc. Choose CD-DA
to play the CD audio section or MP3 to play the MP3 section.*
