Introduction
Media That Can Be Used with the CD-2
As its recording media, the CD-2 uses CompactFlash cards (CF cards) and CD-R/RW discs. The functions available for editing or
deleting songs (tracks) after recording will differ according to the media you use.
The table below shows the functions that can be used with each type of media.
We cannot guarantee that a music CD created on the CD-2 will play on all CD players. Depending on your CD player’s support
for CD-R/RW discs, music CDs you create may not play correctly.
Even if a disc bears an appropriate logo, recording or playback may not be possible depending on the state of the disc.
For details on how to handle CF cards and CD-R/RW discs, refer to the instructions that came with the media you’re using.
We cannot guarantee that special discs not conforming to the music CD specification (e.g., “copy-control CDs” or “copy-guard
CDs”) will play. When using the CD-2 to play a music CD, please carefully read any statements printed on the CD package.
