Introduction—Continued

•Don’t use discs with an unusual shape, such as those shown below, because you may damage the DV-L55.

About WMA

WMA is an acronym for Windows Media Audio and refers to an audio compression technology developed by Microsoft Corporation. WMA content can be encoded by using Windows Media® Player version 7, 7.1, Win- dows Media® Player for Windows® XP, or Windows Media® Player 9 Series.

•Don’t use discs that have residue from adhesive tape, rental discs with peeling labels, or discs with custom- made labels or stickers. Doing so may damage the DV-L55 and you may not be able to remove the disc properly.
