these codes.

E Recording Item (1 or 2 digits) Identifies tracks on a CD (each track can have a different ISRC
code).
L
Luma
The values that convey luminance information.
Luminance
The brightness of an image without respect to its color content.
M
Markers
Saved locations in the sound file. Markers are stored in the Regions List and can be used for quick
navigation.
Markers can be displayed in the Trimmer window for sound files that contain them, but more often,
markers and regions are used at the project level to mark interesting places in the project. For information
on using markers, see "Inserting markers" on page 217.
Media Control Interface (MCI)
A standard way for applications to communicate with multimedia devices like sound cards and CD players.
If a device has a MCI device driver, it can easily be controlled by most multimedia software.
Media Player
A Microsoft Windows program that can play digital sounds or videos using MCI devices. Media Player is
useful for testing your sound card setup. For example, if you cannot hear sound when using Vegas Pro, try
using Media Player. If you cannot play sound using Media Player, check the sound card's manual (do not
call Sony Creative Software Inc. Technical Support until you have called the sound card manufacturer).
