You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs
recorded using CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due
to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,
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 and make
playback impossible.

¡

Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back successfully due
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 contain

Be sure to observe the instructions of the CD-R/RW disc
