•  MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are 

used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.” 

•  While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or 

WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

•  Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
•  This unit can only play back files of the same type as 

those which are detected first if a disc includes both 
audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.

•  This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, 

unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

•  Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on 

this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for 
the following reasons:

  – Discs are dirty or scratched.
  – Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens 

inside the unit.

  – The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
  – The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the 

“Packet Write” method.

  – There are improper recording conditions (missing 

data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, 
warped, etc.).

•  CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the 

reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular 
CDs.

•  Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
  – Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck 

to the surface.

  – Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an 

ink jet printer.

  Using these discs under high temperature or high 

humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the 
unit.
