They are special discs and may not play on the unit. 7 Playing CD-R/CD-RW discs This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable) discs as well as ordinary Audio CD and CD-R (Recordable) discs. • The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain properlyrecorded TOC* information so that they can be played back. In CD recorders, the task of writing TOC information is referred to as finalizing the disc. Discs that are not finalized cannot be properly recognized as an Audio CD and played back by regular CD players and Super Audio CD players. For details, please read the instruction manual provided with a CD recorder. * TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains information such as the total number of tracks and total playing time of the disc. • This unit can play CD format, and CD-R/CD-RW discs which contain WMA/MP3 music data. However, some discs may have problems such as unable to play, noise or sound distortion. • This device is exclusively a playback device. It cannot record CD-R/CD-RW discs. • As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates partial change of the player setup, it may take longer time for reading the TOC information than when an Audio CD or CD-R disc is played. • Depending on the application settings and environment, discs recorded with a personal computer may not be able to be played. Please record with the correct format. (For details, please inquire at your application sales agent.) • Discs recorded with the packet writing system cannot be played. • Mixed mode CD/enhanced CD and DTS CD discs cannot be played. • CD-G, video CD and DVD discs cannot be played. 7 About DualDisc playback • "DualDisc" contains DVD-standard-compliant video and audio on one side and audio for playing on a CD player on the other side, respectively. • Since the non-DVD audio side does not conform to common CD physical standards, it may not be able to be played. • In regard to details such as "DualDisc" specifications and standards, please inquire at your selling agent or distributor.
