Playing Back CDs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)
This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:
• CD (Audio CD)
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)
• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)
Continued use of irregular shape CDs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs (CD-ReWritable) can be played back only if they are already “finalized.”
• You can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded in music CD format. (However, they may not be played back depending on their characteristics or recording conditions.)
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or the player’s lens is dirty.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.

The use of the C-120 or thinner tape is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and this tape easily jams in the pinch­rollers and the capstans.
Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank between each song, so it will not work well in the following cases
• No blank at the beginning of a song.
• Noise (often caused by much use or poor quality dubbing) which fills the blank.
• Long, very soft passages or pauses in a song.
