§
the disc after recording.
≥[CD] This unit is compatible with HDCD, but does not support the Peak Extend function (a function which expands the
dynamic range of high-level signals).
HDCD-encoded CDs sound better because they are encoded with 20 bits, as compared with 16 bits for all other CDs.

≥[WMA] This unit does not support Multiple Bit Rate (MBR: an encoding process for audio content that produces an
audio file encoded at several different bit rates).
Note about using a DualDisc
≥The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not meet the
technical specifications of the Compact Disc Digital Audio
(CD-DA) format so playback may not be possible.
≥Do not use a DualDisc in this unit as it may not be possible to
insert it correctly and it may get scratched or scraped.
Disc caution Maintenance
Before moving the unit, ensure the disc trays are empty. Failure to
do so will risk severely damaging the discs and the unit.
