Precautions on Disc Playback and Recording

Playback

This unit has been designed to play back discs bearing the following logos:

CD ReWritable (CD-RW)

CD Recordable (CD-R)

Audio CD

In addition to the above discs, this unit can play back audio data recorded on CD-G (CD Graphics), CD-Text, CD-Extra and CD-R/CD-RW (single session) including MP3 tracks (files).

Notes on playing a CD-R or CD-RW:

•The built-in CD Recorder can play back both finalized and unfinalized CD-Rs/CD-RWs,however 3-CD Changer cannot play back unfinalized CD-RWs.

•Either on 3-CD Changer or on CD Recorder, you can play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal computer only if they have been recorded in the CD audio format.

Also 3-CD Changer can play back CD-Rs/CD-RWs (single session) including MP3 tracks (files).

•Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be played back either on 3-CD Changer or on CD Recorder because of their disc characteristics, damage or stains.

Important notice:

•Continuous use of irregular–shaped discs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the disc rotating mechanism.

•CD-RWs may require a longer read-out time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.

•MP3 discs require a longer read-out time. It differs depending on the complexity of the group/track configuration.
