CD-R/CD-RW disc play

In addition to conventional music CDs and CD-R (recordable) discs, this player can also play CD-RW (rewritable) discs. It also supports the unfinalized discs that cannot be played by regular CD players.

Playing unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs

CD players normally play only those discs on which the TOC information* has been recorded. This means that in order for a CD player to play a CD-R/CD-RW disc with music recordings, the disc has to be "final- ized" by writing the TOC information onto it.

Discs for which this finalizing job has not been done are called unfinalized discs. This player is designed to play these unfinalized discs as well.

*"TOC" stands for the table of contents which contains the total number of tracks, the total play time and other such information on the disc. This information is recorded on the inner circumfer- ence area of the disc.

Precautions for unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs

Take care not to scratch or dirty the area near the innermost circumference of unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs. Scratches, dirt or other abnormalities in this area may make it impossible for the disc to be read.

On unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs recorded using a CD recorder for audio applications, provisional TOC information is recorded in the PMA area* which is further inside from the TOC information area. This player supports unfinalized discs by reading the information in the PMA area, but because this area is extremely narrow, any scratches, dirt or other abnor- malities here make it impossible for discs to be read.

On some discs, this area may be very difficult to read. In cases like this, use the disc after using a CD recorder to do the finalizing. It is recommended that the finalizing be done before scratches or dirt makes it hard for the discs to be read.

*"PMA" stands for program memory area and it refers to the area where the provisional contents information, such as the number of tracks and play times recorded on the CD-R/CD-RW discs, is recorded. Discs cannot be played by this player unless the PMA has been recorded properly.
