≥ You may have trouble playing back some 

CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD recorders 
(CD-R/RW drives), either due to their recording 
characteristics or dirt, fi ngerprints, 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 car for 
extended periods may damage them and make 
playback impossible.

≥ Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back 

successfully thanks to incompatibility among 
writing software, a CD recorder (CD-R/RW drive) 
and the discs.

≥ 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 (or MP3/WMA data
                                          ).

disc for handling it.
