Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.

Moisture condensation on the lens inside the unit.

THe pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

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

CD-Rs or CD-RWs are susceptible to high temperatures or high humidity, so do not leave them inside your car.

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

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