Notes on Discs
• 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, fi ngerprints,
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 or MP3/WMA data (Video CD, etc.).
• Be sure to observe the instructions of the CD-R/RW disc for
handling it.
Recording MP3/WMA fi les on a CD-media
•
You are recommended to minimize the chances of making
a disc that contains both CD-DA fi les and MP3/WMA fi les.
•
If CD-DA fi les are on the same disc as MP3 or WMA fi les,
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 fi les other than MP3/WMA fi les and
unnecessary folder on a disc.
• The name of MP3/WMA fi le should be added by rules as
shown in the following descriptions and also comply with
the rules of each fi le system.
• You may encounter trouble in playing MP3/WMA fi les or
displaying the information of MP3/WMA fi les recorded with
certain writing software or CD recorders.
• The fi le extension “.mp3” or “.wma” should be assigned to
each fi le depending on the fi le format.
• This unit does not have the play list function.
• Although Multi-session recording is supported, the use of
Disc-at-Once is recommended.
