The pickup lens inside the receiver is dirty.

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

Improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stain, scratch, warp, etc.).

CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.

Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:

Discs with stickers, labels, or protective seal stuck to the surface.

Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperatures or high humidities may cause malfunctions or damages to discs.
