About MPEG-4 AAC

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is at the core of the MPEG-4 AAC standard, which incorporates MPEG-2 AAC, forming the basis of the MPEG-4 audio compression technology. The file format and extension used depend on the application used to encode the AAC file. This unit plays back AAC files encoded by

iTunes® bearing the extension ‘.m4a’. DRM- protected files will not play, and files encoded

with some versions of iTunes® may not play, or filenames may display incorrectly.

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 for Windows XP, Windows Media Player 9 or Windows Media Player 10 series.

About DivX video

DivX is a media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX media files contain not only video but also include advanced media features like menus, subtitles, and alternate audiotracks. This player can play DivX videos burned on CD-R/-RW/-ROM discs. Keeping the same terminology as DVD-Video, individual DivX video files are called “Titles”. When naming files/titles on a CD-R/-RW disc prior to burning, keep in mind that by default they will be played in alphabetical order.
