CD-RW disc reading

NOTES:

This product can read out CD-RW disc data. Note the following:
(1) A little longer time is needed to sense a CD-RW disc when the operation starts, compared

with normal CD-ROM discs.

(2) The read-out speed of CD-RW discs is usually 4 times higher than that of normal discs.

However, according to the quality of the disc or under extremely hot or cold conditions,
the player may reduce the speed of rotation of the disc during read-out. (Because the
reproduced signal level from CD-RW discs is lower than that of normal discs.)

(3) Blank discs, discs where you failed to write data or discs where session close processing

has not been made - these discs cannot be used.

(4) The operations may not start or the data may not be read out under the following conditions:

The quality of the recorded signal has deteriorated due to the dirt or scratches on the
disc, or frequently rewrote discs.
If you fail to start the operation, take out the disc and reinsert it to try again to start.

Precautions on plying CD singles (8 cm Discs)

(1) When playing CD singles (8 cm discs), always use the adapter for 8 cm discs. Before loading

the disc into the CD-ROM drive unit, be sure to check that it is secured properly by the
catches of the adapter. If discs have been inserted without the adapter by mistake, remove
the disc immediately by pressing the eject button. If the disc does not come out with one
press, press another time.

(2) Use 8 cm disc adapters labeled with the

'

mark (recommended standard product). Do

not use adapters which cause the disc to idle, nor adapters which are bent or curved.
