Tips for making your own CDs
The IVA-W505 plays DVD Video, DVD Audio, Video CD, Audio
CD and has a built in MP3IWMNAAC decoder.
The following information is designed to help you create your own
music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3IWMNAAC encoded CD-RI
RW files).
What is the difference between an Audio and MP3IWMAlAAC
CD?
An Audio CD is the same format as the commercial CDs you buy
in the store (also known as CD-DA). MP3 (MPEG-I Audio Layer
3)IWMA (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/WMAlAAC) CD-R/RW
discs:
The IVA-W505 can read either sector on the disc. Choose CD-DA
to play the CD audio section or MP3IWMA/AAC to play the MP3/
WMAIAAC section*.
Multisession CD-R/RW:
Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered one session.
If the disc is not closed (finalized), additional data may be added.
Once this additional data has been recorded, this becomes a
"multisession" CD. The IVA-W505 can only read multisession
DATA Formatted discs (MP3IWMNAAC files - Not Audio CD
files).
Properly formatted MP3IWMAlAAC Discs:
Use IS09660 formatting to insure proper playback. You may use
standard ISO naming Level I (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.
