This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA formats.

This unit cannot playback SVCD, DVDs, CD-Gs, or CD-I discs.

When a disc is inserted upside down, the disc automatically ejects.

While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

This unit can play back only files of the same type which are first detected if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.

This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the following reasons:

CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written with “Packet Write” method.

There are improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, warped, etc.).
