This Unit Can Use the
Following Discs
The unit can use three types of discs as
follows:
Audio CDs
Discs with these logos can be played by
both DECK A (the CD player section)
and DECK B (the CD-R or CD-RW
recording section) of the unit.
Audio CD-R
Discs with this logo are recordable
only one time. When you finalize the
disc (page 29), you can play it in either
DECK A (the CD player section) or
DECK B (the CD-R or CD-RW
recording section), or any conventional CD player
(you may not be able to play it in some CD players),
including home, car, and portable models. (An
unfinalized disc can be played only in DECK B.)
When you buy a CD-R, please note that you must buy
an audio CD-R. A CD-R designed for computer use
will not work in this unit.
Audio CD-RW
Discs with this logo are recordable,
and also re-writable. When you
finalize the disc (page 29), you can play
it in either DECK A (the CD player
section) or DECK B (the CD-R or CD-
RW recording section), and CD-RW compatible
players. They will not play back in most current CD
players unless the player is CD-RW compatible. (An
unfinalized disc can be played only in DECK B.)
When you buy a CD-RW, please note that you must
buy an audio CD-RW. A CD-RW designed for
computer use will not work in this unit.
This logo means that an unit is
compatible with Audio CD-R and
Audio CD-RW (both Audio CD-R and
Audio CD-RW can be used).
Note
On this player, you can play MP3 files on DECK A
only. For details, see “Playing a disc with MP3 files”
