How to operate the MP3 player

Media

Media capable of playing MP3 includes CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Compared to CD-ROM media commonly used for music discs, CD-R discs are fragile in high temperature/high humidity environments and one section of the CD-R may become incapable of playback. Fingerprints or scratches on the disc may prevent playback or cause skipping during playback. Sections of a CD-R may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for long periods of time. It is also recommended that CD-R discs be kept in a light-blocking case because the discs are vulnerable to ultra-violet light.
