AW2816 can write audio data from the stereo track of a song to CD-R/RW media in CD-DA format. CD-R/RW media that has been written in this way can be played back on a CD-RW drive or on a conventional CD player in the same way as an audio CD. Some CD players or CD-ROM drives that do not support CD - Yamaha AW2816 | Owner's Manual - Page 185
additional data can be recorded on CD-RW media, or on CD-R media written using Disc At Once.
