Note on DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a two sided disc product
which mates DVD recorded material on
one side with digital audio material on the
other side. However, since the audio
material side does not conform to the
Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback
on this product is not guaranteed.
Note on CD-R/-RW
In some cases, CD-Rs/-RWs cannot be
played back on this system due to the
recording quality or physical condition of
the disc, or the characteristics of the
recording device and authoring software.
The disc will not be played back if it has
not been correctly finalized. For more
information, see the operating
instructions of the recording device.

Notes
• The following discs/situations can increase
the time it takes to start playback:
– a disc recorded with a complicated tree
structure.
– a disc recorded in Multi Session.
– a disc to which data can be added
(non-finalized disc).

playback.
• You are recommended not to save other types
of tracks or unnecessary folders on a disc that
has MP3 audio tracks.
• The system can only play back MP3 audio
tracks with the extension “.MP3”.
• Attempting to play back non-MP3 format files
that have the extension “.MP3” may result in
noise or malfunction.
• A folder that does not include an MP3 audio
track is skipped.
• The system can recognize up to
– 256 folders (including the root folder).
– 511 MP3 audio tracks.
– 512 MP3 audio tracks and folders on a
single disc.
– 8 folder levels.
• Depending on the encoding/writing software,
recording device, or the recording media used
to record an MP3 audio track, you may
encounter problems such as cannot play back,
sound interruptions and noise.
Tip
When you press CD or one of the DISC 1 ~ 3
