Alpine DVA-5210 owner manual On handling compact discs CD/CD-R/CD-RW

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 DVA-5210 can only read multisession DATA Formatted discs (MP3/WMA files - Not Audio CD files).

MP3 ID3 Tag/WMA Tag Information:

The DVA-5210 read and displays MP3 ID3v1 tag or WMA tag information. MP3 files created with ID3v2 tag information can be played back but the tag info cannot be read or displayed.

Properly formatted MP3/WMA 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.
