■Regarding CD-R/RW discs

Due to the unique construction of CD-R/RW discs, leaving them for extended periods of time in the pause (or cue standby) 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 exces- sively.

As a result, users are advised to construct backup archive discs when playing discs containing important data.
