refer to the instruction manual of the disc.  
The DVD Player will play most recordable (CD-R) or erasable (CD-RW) CDs, but playback  
of CD-R or CD-RW discs created on a computer requires proper formatting and finalization  
of the disc for audio playback. Some computers and/or software programs may not be  
capable of creating compatible discs.  
Disc Terminology  
Title  
Generally, pictures or music compressed on a DVD are divided into several sections,  
called “titles”.  
Chapter  
Some discs break titles into smaller story sections called chapters. Usually, chapters are  
numbered so they can be found easily during a search.  
Track  
A picture or music segment on a CD. Each track is numbered so it can be found easily  
during a search.
