Notes on Multi Session CDs/Multi Border DVDs This unit can play Multi Session CDs/Multi Border DVDs under the following conditions. Note that the session must be closed and the disc must be finalized. • When CD-DA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) is recorded in the first session: The unit recognizes the disc as CD-DA and only CD-DA of the first session is played, even if an other format (e.g., MP3) is recorded in other sessions. • When CD-DA is recorded other than in the first session: The unit recognizes the disc as a DATA CD or DATA DVD, and all CD-DA sessions are skipped. • When an MP3/WMA/JPEG/DivX is recorded: Only the sessions containing the selected file type (audio/video/image)* are played (if CD-DA or other data exists in other sessions, they are skipped). * For details on how to select the file type, see page 30. Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies This product is designed to play back discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product. Note on DualDiscs A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.
