Notes on CD/CD Media (CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW)
Notes on
CD-Rs/RWs
¡
You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs
recorded using CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due
to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
¡
CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and
high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them
inside a car for extended periods may damage and make
playback impossible.
¡
Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back successfully due
to incompatibility among writing software, a CD recorder
(CD-R/RW drive) and the discs.
¡
This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is
not closed.
¡
This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contain
other than CD-DA data or MP3/WMA (Video CD, etc.).
¡
Be sure to observe the instructions of the CD-R/RW disc
for handling it.
Recording MP3/WMA files on a CD-media
¡
You are recommended to minimize the chances of mak-
ing a disc that contains both CD-DA files and MP3/WMA
files.
¡
If CD-DA files are on the same disc as MP3 or WMA files,
the songs may not play in the intended order, or some
songs may not play at all.
¡
When storing MP3 data and WMA data on the same disc,
use different folders for each data.
¡
Do not record files other than MP3/WMA files and unnec-
essary folder on a disc.
¡
The name of MP3/WMA file should be added by rules as
shown in the following descriptions and also comply with
the rules of each file system.
¡
You may encounter trouble in playing MP3/WMA files or
displaying the information of MP3/WMA files recorded with
certain writing software or CD recorders.
¡
The file extension “.mp3” or “.wma” should be assigned to
each file depending on the file format.
¡
This unit does not have the play list function.
¡
Although Multi-session recording is supported, the use of
Disc-at-Once is recommended.
