•MP3 CDs that meet the following criteria:

All tracks are burned in a single, closed session and in ISO9660 disc format. Each file name has an “.mp3” extension and no other periods. The file tag is no higher than ID3 (ID3v2).

Check for region number compatibility

For any DVD player and DVD disc to be compatible, their region numbers must match.

These numbers are assigned according to where the player and disc are sold.

Check the region number on the bottom of the media center included with your system. Then be sure to choose only DVD discs that show the same region number on the disc label or packaging. For example, a Region 1 DVD and corresponding player should display the mark shown on the right.

Glossary of audio terms

Aspect ratio – The shape of the rectangular picture in a TV set expressed as the width of the picture relative to the height. For example, if a TV picture has an aspect ratio of 4:3 (read as 4 by 3), the shape of that picture is 4 units wide by 3 units high. The two standard TV aspect ratios are 4:3 and 16:9.

Chapter – A main division of contents in a DVD title.

Component video – A video signal split into three parts: luminance and two color signals (marked as YPbPr). It provides the highest resolution video, but cannot be processed by all television sets.

Composite video – A video signal in which the brightness (black and white) and color infor- mation are combined. Compatible with most televisions and other video components, com- posite video cables use RCA jacks.

Dolby Digital – A perceptual coding system for audio, developed by Dolby Laboratories and accepted as an international standard. Dolby Digital is the most common means of encoding multi-channel audio.
