•Depending on the disc, normal playback may not be possible. For example, the picture may be unclear, playback may not appear smooth, the sound may skip, and so on.

•Depending on the disc, playback may take some time to start.

•Some files cannot be played.

•For MP3 audio tracks and DivX video files, the recorder can play up to 99 albums each on a DATA CD or DATA DVD. Up to 99 tracks and files under an album can be played.
