Regarding DVD-R/RW, CD-R discs
¶
Due to the unique construction of DVD-
R/RW and CD-R discs, leaving them for
extended periods of time in the pause
mode at a single point may result in the
discs’ becoming difficult to play at that
place. The same symptom may also
occur if the loop function is used to play
back a single point on the disc
excessively.
As a result, users are advised to
construct backup archive discs when
playing discs containing important data.
