Precautions on Disc Playback and Recording
Playback
This unit has been designed to play back discs bearing the
following logos:
In addition to the above discs, this unit can play back audio
data recorded on CD-G (CD Graphics) and CD-Extra.
Notes on playing a CD-R or CD-RW:
• The built-in CD Recorder can play back both finalized
and unfinalized CD-Rs/CD-RWs.
•The built-in 3-CD Changer can play back only
finalized CD-Rs/CD-RWs.
• Either on 3-CD Changer or on CD Recorder, you can
play back CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal
computer only if they have been recorded in the CD
audio format.
• Neither on 3-CD Changer nor on CD Recorder, you can
play back MP3 discs.
• Some CD-Rs and CD-RWs may not be played back
either on 3-CD Changer or on CD Recorder because of
their disc characteristics, damage or stains.
Important notice:
• Continuous use of irregular–shaped discs (heart-shape,
octagonal, etc.) can damage the disc rotating mechanism.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is
caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is
lower than for regular CDs.
