In some cases, CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/
DVD+R/DVD+RW cannot be played 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 play if it has not been correctly 
finalized. For more information, see the operating 
instructions for the recording device.

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.

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.
