Notes on Rs/RWs

¡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, fingerprints, 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 data or MP3.

¡Be sure to observe the instructions of the CD-R/RW disc for handling it.

¡The file extension “.mp3” should be assigned to each file depending on the file format.
