This Recorder Can Use the
Following Discs
This recorder can use three types of discs as
follows:
Discs with the logo above (Audio CD) can be played
by both DECK A (the CD player section) and DECK
B (the CD-R or CD-RW recording section) of the
recorder.
Discs with the logo above (Audio CD-R) are
recordable only one time. When you finalize (page
19) the disc, you can play it in either DECK A (the
CD player section) or DECK B (the CD-R or CD-RW
recording section), and you can play it in any
conventional CD player, including home, car, and
portable models (A unfinalized disc can be played
only in DECK B). When you buy a CD-R disc, please
note that you must buy an audio CD-R disc. A CD-R
disc designed for computer use will not work in the
recorder.
Discs with the logo above (Audio CD-RW) are
recordable, and also re-writable. When you finalize
(page 19) the disc, 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 (A
unfinalized disc can be played only in DECK B).
When you buy a CD-RW disc, please note that you
must buy an audio CD-RW disc. A CD-RW disc
designed for computer use will not work in the
recorder.
