Playing Back CDs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)
This unit has been designed to playback the following CDs:
• CD (Audio CD)
• CD-R (CD-Recordable)
• CD-RW (CD-ReWritable)
Continuous use of irregular shape CDs (heart-shape,
octagonal, etc.) can damage the System.
General Notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your CDs and the mechanism clean.
• Store CDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
• Keep the system’s disc trays closed when not in use.
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs
(CD-ReWritable) can be played back only if they are already
“finalized.”
• You can playback your original CD-Rs or CD-RWs
recorded in music CD format. (However, they may not be
played back depending on their characteristics or recording
conditions.)
• Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their
instructions or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this
unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or stain
on them, or the player’s lens is dirty.
• CD-RWs may require a longer read-out time. This is
caused by the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower
than for regular CDs.
