This player can play most CD-R discs. CD-Rs written during a multisession recording can also be played, provided that the session has ended before the disc is played (depending on the write software). However, depending on the condition of the CD-writer, computer and the disc used, you may find that not all discs will play successfully.When playing a CD-R disc, it is completely normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to recognise the disc before starting to play. If the disc is not recognised after a period of 20 seconds, remove the disc, and then insert it again.

•Irrespective of the actual recording capacity of the CD-R, do not use its full capacity. • CD-Rs should be preferably used instead of CD-RWs (rewritable CDs) as, in certain cases, CD-RW playback may be faulty. • Use reliable, good-quality CD write software. • Close all other applications on the computer to ensure reliable CD-R disc recording.
