Discs that this system cannot play
•CD-ROMs
•CD-Rs/CD-RWs other than those recorded in the following formats:
–music CD format
–MP3 format that conforms to ISO9660*1 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet*2, Romeo*2 or Multi Session*3
•A disc that has a non-standard shape (e.g., card, heart).
•A disc with paper or stickers on it.
•A disc that has the adhesive, cellophane tape, or a sticker still left on it.
•When you eject a disc, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.
•Do not use discs with seals, protection rings or other accessories attached.
•Do not use adaptors that change the size of a disc from 8 cm to standard size.
*1 A logical format of files and folders on CD-ROMs, defined by ISO (International Standard Organization)
*2 Up to 31 characters can be displayed.
*3 Multi Session
This is a recording method that enables adding of data using the Track-At-Once method. Conventional CDs begin at a CD control area called the Lead-in and end at an area called Lead-out. A Multi Session CD is a CD having multiple sessions, with each segment from Lead-in to Lead-out regarded as a single session.
CD-Extra: This format records audio (audio CD data) on the tracks in session 1 and data on the tracks in session 2.
Mixed CD: This format records data on the first track and audio (audio CD data) on the second and subsequent tracks of a session.

Notes on CD-R and CD-RW
•This system can play CD-R/CD-RW discs edited by the user. However, note that playback of some discs may not be possible depending on the recording device used for recording or the disc condition.
•Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be played back because of scratches, dirt, recording condition or the driver’s characteristics.
•CD-R and CD-RW discs that have not been finalized (processing to allow play by a normal CD player) cannot be played.
•CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multisession that have not ended by “closing the session” are not supported.
•The system may be unable to play MP3 format files that do not have the extender “.MP3”.
•Attempting to play non-MP3 format files that have the extender “.MP3” may result in noise or malfunction.
•With formats other than ISO 9660 level 1 and 2, folder names or file names may not be displayed correctly.
•The following discs take a longer time to start playback.
–a disc recorded with complicated tree structure.
–a disc recorded in Multi Session.
–a disc to which data can be added (nonfinalized disc).
Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies
This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.
Cautions when playing a disc that is recorded in Multi Session
•If the disc begins with a CD-DA session, it is recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc, and playback continues until an MP3 session is encountered.
•If the disc begins with an MP3 session, it is recognized as an MP3 disc, and playback continues until a CD-DA (audio) session is encountered.
•The playback range of an MP3 disc is determined by the tree structure of files produced by analyzing of the disc.
•A disc with a mixed CD format will be recognized as a CD-DA (audio) disc.
