Playing Back Discs This unit has been designed to play back the following discs-CD, CD-R, and CD-RW. You can play back the discs containing the tracks in music CD format or MP3 files in ISO 9660 format. • In this instruction, we call a disc recorded MP3 files "MP3 disc," and "file" is also referred to as "track." When playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs • Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully. • User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD- ReWritable) can be played only if they are already "finalized." • This unit supports "multi-session" discs (up to 5 sessions). • This unit cannot play "packet write" discs. • Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player's lens is dirty. • CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular discs. 2 Place a disc correctly with its label side up, then press down on the portions around the disc's center hole until you hear a click. 3 Close the disc cover gently. 4 Press CD 6.
