CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW discs recorded with MP3/WMA files
You may not be able to play discs that do not conform to the CD standard, such as Copy Control CDs.
Discs must be finalized during writing.
In this manual, MP3 and WMA files are referred to collectively as“audio files”.
Depending on the equipment or recording mode used for recording onto a CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW disc, and
depending on the type of CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW disc used, you may not be able to play the disc on this system.
Precautions when writing data to discs
Discs recorded in Packet Write mode or UDF (Universal Disc Format) cannot be played.
When writing data to a disc, always close the session or finalize the disc. The disc may not play properly if you do not close the session or finalize the disc.
Depending on the specifications of the writing software used, the recorded folder names and file names may not be displayed correctly.
Playback for multi-session discs or discs that contain large numbers of folders may take longer to begin than for normal discs.
If you write audio files and music CD tracks (CD-DA format) to the same disc, the disc may not play correctly.
Before writing audio files to a disc, check that the files play back correctly on the PC being used to write the files. After you finish writing, check that the written files are played back correctly.
Use the correct file extensions (mp3, wma) in the names of audio files. Files without file extensions will not play. Also, do not use audio file extensions (mp3, wma) for files that are not audio files.
For more information on file extensions, see <Supported Audio Files> on the right.

Handling Discs
Handling precautions
When handing a disc, never touch the playing surface.
Discs playable on the system
This system can play back CD (12 cm, 8 cm), CD-ROM, CD- R, or CD-RW discs, or the audio part of CD-EXTRA discs.
Use of an 8 cm CD adapter is not supported.
Notes on CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW discs
If the CD-ROM, CD-R or CD-RW disc being used has a printable label surface, the label surface may cause sticking that makes it impossible to remove the disc from the system. To prevent malfunction of the system, do not use such discs.
Cautions on CD discs
Always use a disc carrying the
marking.
A disc without this marking may be unable to be played back correctly.
The disc rotates at a high speed during playback. Never use a cracked, chipped or greatly warped disc. Otherwise, damage or malfunction of the player may result.
Also, do not use a disc with a non-circular shape as this may result in malfunction.
Handling USB devices
Handling precautions
Be sure to read the instruction manual that comes with the device you are using.
This system does not come with a USB device. It is up to you to purchase a commercially available USB device separately.
