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

If you change the source while listening to a disc, playback stops.

Next time you select “CD” as the playback source, playback will start from where it had been stopped previously.

If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds, it is automatically inserted into the loading slot again to protect it from dust. Playback starts automatically.

This unit can only play back files of the same type as those detected first 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:

Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens inside the unit.

The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

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

There are improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, warped, 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 a protective seal stuck to the surface.Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an ink jet printer.

Using these discs under high temperature or high humidity may cause malfunctions or damage to the unit.
