notes about particular software and formats.

CD-R/RW compatibility
• This unit will play CD-R and CD-RW discs
recorded in CD Audio or Video CD/Super
VCD format, or as a CD-ROM containing
MP3 audio files. However, any other
content may cause the disc not to play, or
create noise/distortion in the output.
• This unit cannot record CD-R or CD-RW
discs.
• Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs recorded as
CD Audio can be played, but the full Table
of Contents (playing time, etc.) will not be
displayed.
DVD-R/RW Compatibility
• This unit will play DVD-R/RW discs that
were recorded using the DVD Video
format or Video Recording format.
• This unit cannot record DVD-R/RW discs.
• Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be
played in this player.
• This player is compatible with multi-
session discs, but only plays sessions that
are closed.
• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording
your MP3 files.
• This player can recognize a combined
total of up to 250 tracks and folders. If a
disc containing over 250 tracks/folders is
loaded, only the first 250 tracks/folders
recorded on the disc will be playable.
• Folder and track names (excluding the
“.mp3” extension) are displayed.
• There are many different recording bit-
rates available to encode your MP3 files.
This unit was designed to be compatible
with all of them. Audio encoded at
128Kbps should sound close to regular
CD Audio quality. This player will play
lower bit-rate MP3 tracks, but please note
that the sound quality becomes notice-
ably worse at lower bit-rates.
PC Created Disc Compatibility
• If you record a disc using a personal
computer, even if it is recorded in a
“compatible format” as listed above, there
will be cases in which the disc may not be
playable in this machine due to the
setting of the application software used to
create the disc. In these particular
instances, check with the software
publisher for more detailed information.
• Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW soft-
ware disc boxes for additional compati-
bility information.
