their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints, scratches, etc. on the disc surface.

• CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them
inside a vehicle for extended periods may damage them and make playback impossible.

• The unit may not successfully play back a CD-R/RW that was made by the combination of writing software, a CD
recorder (CD-R/RW drive) and a disc if they are incompatible one another.

• This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is not closed.

• This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contains other than CD-DA data.
