CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW discs recorded with MP3/WMA files

You may not be able to play discs that do not conform to the CD standard, such as Copy Control CDs.

Discs must be finalized during writing.

In this manual, MP3 and WMA files are referred to collectively as“audio files”.

Depending on the equipment or recording mode used for recording onto a CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW disc, and depending on the type of CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW disc used, you may not be able to play the disc on this system.

Precautions when writing data to discs

Discs recorded in Packet Write mode or UDF (Universal Disc Format) cannot be played.

When writing data to a disc, always close the session or finalize the disc. The disc may not play properly if you do not close the session or finalize the disc.

Depending on the specifications of the writing software used, the recorded folder names and file names may not be displayed correctly.

Playback for multi-session discs or discs that contain large numbers of folders may take longer to begin than for normal discs.

If you write audio files and music CD tracks (CD-DA format) to the same disc, the disc may not play correctly.

Before writing audio files to a disc, check that the files play back correctly on the PC being used to write the files. After you finish writing, check that the written files are played back correctly.

Use the correct file extensions (mp3, wma) in the names of audio files. Files without file extensions will not play. Also, do not use audio file extensions (mp3, wma) for files that are not audio files.

For more information on file extensions, see <Supported Audio Files> on the right.
