Note

• Depending on the conditions of the

 

 

 

 

recording equipment or the CD-R/RW

 

 

 

 

(or DVD±R/RW) disc itself, some

 

 

 

 

CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) discs

 

 

 

 

cannot be played on the recorder.

•Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the recorded side) of a disc.

•Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (for example, heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing so may result in malfunctions.

•Depending on the recording software and the finalization, some recorded discs (CD-R/RW or DVD±R/RW) may not be playable.

•DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and CD-R/RW discs recorded using a personal computer or a DVD or CD recorder may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty or if there is dirt or condensation on the recorder’s lens.

•If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

•Your recorder requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible playback.

•You should note that permission is required in order to download MP3 or WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copyright owner.
