About CD-R and CD-RW discs

CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have
been used for recording, they cannot be erased or
re-recorded. However, if space is available on the disc,
additional material can be recorded.
By finalizing a CD-R that you have finished using for
recording, you can make it playable by most ordinary CD
players. (Some CD players might not be able to play back
CD-R discs even if they are finalized.)
CD-RW discs allow recorded tracks to be erased to make
space available again, allowing disc reuse. However, tracks
can only be erased in the order from the last added. To
erase a track in the middle, you must erase all the tracks
added after it at the same time. Finalized CD-RW discs can
only be played back in CD players that support CD-RW
disc playback.
1 − Introduction

Slot loading of discs

1 As shown in the illustration, hold the disc with the
labeled side up and insert it part way into the slot.
2 After you push the disc a little further, it will be
pulled in automatically just before it disappears
into the slot.
Loading 3-inch CDs
When loading a 3-inch CD, push it into the center of the
slot completely. If not centered, loading might not occur
properly.
Trouble inserting a disc
If the disc becomes stuck during insertion, for example,
and is difficult to push, do not try to force the disc in. Pull
the disc out once and press the EJECT button and then
try inserting it again. (Trying to force the disc in could
damage the unit.)
