Playback of discs created on a computer or DVD
recorder
Depending on the application’s settings and the computer’s environ-
ment settings, it may not be possible to play discs created on a com-
puter. Record discs in a format playable on this unit. For details, contact
your application’s selling agent.
It may not be possible to play discs created on a computer or DVD
recorder due to the disc’s properties, scratches or dirt, or poor recording
quality (dirt on the recording lens, etc.).
See Handling discs on page 46 for instructions on handling discs.
Creating backup discs
When CD-R/-RW, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R DL (dual layer)
and DVD+R DL (dual layer) discs are paused or left in the pause mode
at cue points for long periods of time, it may become difficult to play the
disc that point, due to the properties of the disc. When a specific point
is looped repeatedly an extremely large number of times, it may become
difficult to play that point.
When playing valuable discs, we recommend making backup discs.
Regarding copy protected CDs
This unit is designed to CD standards. Operation and performance of
discs with standards other than CD standards is not guaranteed.
About playing DualDiscs
A DualDisc is a new two-sided disc, one side of which contains DVD
content — video, audio, etc. — while the other side contains non-DVD
content such as digital audio material.
The non-DVD, audio side of the disc is not compatible with this player.
For more detailed information on the DualDisc specification, please refer
to the disc manufacturer or disc retailer.
About 8 cm discs
8 cm discs cannot be played. Do not mount 8 cm adapters on discs and
play the discs on this unit. The adapter could come off while the disc is
rotating, damaging both the disc and this unit.
