Critical Points
Use round CD/DVDs but not CD/DVDs of any irregular form (e.g., star-shaped or card type
CD/DVDs).
CD/DVDs of irregular form could prevent your CD/DVD drive from reading or writing data
correctly, or could result in damage to your drive.
Some copy-protected audio CDs may not be played back on your CD/DVD drive.
Dropouts may occur during the playback of an audio CD. If they occur, follow the steps
below to switch to analog play mode. Note that, in analog play mode, no audio files can be
recorded directly on the MD recorder connected to the optical digital output terminal on your
computer.
