removal. Such discs may also result
in noise while playing.
Some CD-R/CD-RW discs may not properly operate depending on the
disc manufacturer, production
method and the record method as
used by the user. If problems persist,
trying using a different CD as con-
tinued use may result in malfunc-
tions.
The performance of this product may differ depending on the CD-
RW Drive Software.
Copy-protected CDs such as S-type CDs may not function in the device.
