Notes on CD-Rs/RWs

Discs with adhered labels, etc. on them 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, 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. The unit may not successfully playback a CD-R/RW that was made by the combination of writing software, a CD recorder (CD-R/RW drive) and a disc if they are incompatible with one another. This unit does not play CD-R/RW discs if the session is not closed. This player does not play CD-R/RW discs which contain other than CD-DA or MP3 data (Video CD, etc.). Be sure to observe the handling instructions of CD-R/RW discs.
