About CD-R and CD-RW discs
CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded.
However, if space is available on the disc (and the disc has not been Finalized), additional material can be recorded.
By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded can
be erased, and the space on the disc can be re-used for other recordings.
However, you should note that an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on other audio
CD-players such as the CD player on your automobile.
CD-R, by contrast, can be played on the majority of audio CD players
.
Discs
Please use CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs bearing the “DIGITAL AUDIO” mark.
In this manual, although we refer to “CD-R” and “CD-RW” disc, we always mean “CD-R Digital Audio” and “CD-RW
Digital Audio”, even when this is not explicitly stated.
“CD-R” and “CD-RW” discs designed for computer systems and properly recorded by a computer are playable, but
this unit cannot record, finalize or erase them.
Depending on the quality of the disc and the condition of the recording, some CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be
playable.
Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up (compact discs can be played or recorded only
on one side)
To move a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully
by the edges.
If the disc(s) become dirty, wipe the surface from the center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry
cloth.
