•The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore, the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.

General

•This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA formats.

•When a disc is inserted upside down, “PLEASE” and “EJECT” appear alternately on the display. Press 0to eject the disc.

•MP3 and WMA “tracks” (words “file” and “track” are used interchangeably) are recorded in “folders.”

•While fast-forwarding or reversing on an MP3 or WMA disc, you can only hear intermittent sounds.

Playing a CD-R or CD-RW

•Use only “finalized” CD-Rs or CD-RWs.

•This unit can play back only files of the same type which are first detected if a disc includes both audio CD (CD-DA) files and MP3/WMA files.

•This unit can play back multi-session discs; however, unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.

•Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, or for the following reasons:

–Discs are dirty or scratched.

–Moisture condensation occurs on the lens inside the unit.

–The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.

–CD-R/CD-RW on which the files are written with “Packet Write” method.

–There are improper recording conditions (missing data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, warped, etc.).
