You can use Normal, Random, Program or Repeat Play. Repeat Play can repeat all the tracks or just one of the tracks on the CD. Here are the basic things you need to know to play a CD and locate the different tracks on it.

This Unit has been designed only to playback the following CDs.

• Digital audio CD

• Recordable digital audio CD (CD-R)

• Rewritable digital audio CD (CD-RW)

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW

You can play back finalized CD-R or CD-RW recorded music CD format. (If CD-RW have been recorded in a

different format, erase all the data on CD-RW completely before recording on the disc.)

❑ You can play back CD-R or CD-RW like CD.

❑ Some CD-R or CD-RW may not be played back on

this Unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if the player lens is dirty.

❑ The reflection factor of CD-RW is lower than that of

other CD, possibly causing CD-RW to take longer to read.

❑ CD-R and CD-RW of MP3 format are not played

back.
