• CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back.
• Tracks on the CD-R/CD-RW cannot be
skipped.
• Insert a finalized CD-R/CD-RW.
• Finalize the CD-R/CD-RW with the component which
you used for recording.

you have intended.
Playback order is determined when the files are
recorded.
The elapsed playing time is not correct. This sometimes occurs during playback. This is caused
by how the tracks are recorded on the disc.
