■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 depend-
ing on the application settings and the environment. Record with the correct
format. (For details, contact the appropriate application manufacturers 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 dam-
aged 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.
●Recordings on CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played using the DDCD (Double
Density CD) system.
CAUTION
■DVD video precaution
Conversational speech on some DVDs is recorded at a low volume to emphasize
the impact of sound effects. If you adjust the volume assuming that the conversa-
tions represent the maximum volume level that the DVD will play, you may be star-
tled by louder sound effects or when you change to a different audio source.
Loud sounds may have a significant impact on the human body or pose a driving
hazard. Keep this in mind when you adjust the volume.
