D isc playback recommendations

DVD discs.

When playing a Dual-layer DVD disc (DVD-9 or DVD-18 is indicated on the jacket of the disc), you may notice some disturbance or picture freezing for a few seconds during the layer change.

CD-R discs.

This unit can play most CD-R discs. However, depending on the condition of the CD-recorder, computer and the disc used, you may find that not all discs will play successfully.

When playing a CD-R disc, it is completely normal for the unit to take up to 30 seconds to recognize the disc before starting to play. If the disc is not recognized after a period of 30 seconds, remove the disc, and then insert it again. If after several trials, this disc cannot be recognized, make sure you have followed the recommendations below or try another type of disc.

Use CD-R data discs.

There are two main types of recordable CDs:

CD-R audio discs (for music only), which should be used when recording with Hifi CD- audio recorder, and CD-R data Discs, which should be used when recording with a personal computer.

Use no more than 630 Mb of recording, regardless of the actual capacity of the CD-R disc.

Use only 650 Mb (74 minutes) CD-R, and avoid the 700 Mb format (80 minutes recording time).

Some studies show that blue-color CD-Rs may sometimes give lower playback quality than other-color CD-Rs.

Never use CD-RW (recordable/rewritable) discs.

These CDs are designed for multiple use, and are oriented to computer use rather than music. Playback quality with these discs can vary with the equipment used and many other technical factors.

Use a completely brand new CD-R disc (which has not been recorded at all).

Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.

Use a good quality CD-R recording program.

Make your recordings in a single, one shot recording session, using the option “write at once”

This session should be the first session recorded on a blank CD-R disc. (Your home computer allows CD-R recording in several “passes” or sessions, and the computer can play back these individual sessions without difficulty.

With a DVD player, however, there is just one play list, and the DVD player only plays what was recorded in that first play list. You should therefore make sure you can record all the tracks you intend recording in a single session.)

Do not under-record.

If you make just a few recordings on your disc the DVD player will take a long time searching for and locating these few tracks.
