CD-R and CD-RW discs
● CD-R/CD-RW discs that have not been subject to the “finalizing process”
(a process that allows discs to be played on a conventional CD player)
cannot be played.
● It may not be possible to play CD-R/CD-RW discs recorded on a music
CD recorder or a personal computer because of disc characteristics,
scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the lens of the
unit.
● It may not be possible to play discs recorded on a personal computer
depending on the application settings and the environment. Record with
the correct format. (For details, contact the appropriate application manu-
facturers of the applications.)
● CD-R/CD-RW discs may be damaged by direct exposure to sunlight,
high temperatures or other storage conditions. The unit may be unable to
play damaged discs.
● If you insert a CD-RW disc into the MP3/WMA player, playback will begin
more slowly than with a conventional CD or CD-R disc.
