Some CD-R/CD-RW discs recorded on standalone recorders or computer drives may not be playable back on this player, due to a variety of reasons, including disc characteristics, scratches, dirt, player lens dirt or condensation, etc.

Some discs recorded on computer drives may not be playable on this player, depending on the recording application used, its settings, and operating environment. Be sure to use the correct formatting for the discs used. For details, consult the application author.

This unit cannot play partially recorded CD-R or CD-RW discs that have not been finalized.

For detailed information regarding the handling of CD-R/CD- RW discs, consult the handling precautions supplied with each disc.

Regarding CD-R/RW discs

Due to the unique construction of CD-R/RW discs, leaving them for extended periods of time in the pause (or cue standby) mode at a single point may result in the discs’ becoming difficult to play at that place. The same symptom may also occur if the loop function is used to play back a single point on the disc exces- sively.

As a result, users are advised to construct backup archive discs when playing discs containing important data.

About DualDisc playback

This product is designed to conform to standards for music CDs. No warranty is made for operation or performance when used with discs not conforming to such music CD standards.

Playing MP3 files

MP3 files may be found in two formats: Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate (VBR). This component supports playback and DJ play with both CBR and VBR type MP3 files, but in comparison with CBR files, files recorded in VBR format will experience slower search and super-fast search speeds. As a result, when operating speed is most important, the use of the CBR recording format is recommended for MP3 files.
