Notes on discs

• This system can play CD-R/CD-RW discs
edited by the user. However, note that
playback of some discs may not be possible
depending on the recording device used for
recording or the disc condition.
• Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may
not be played back because of scratches, dirt,
recording condition or the driver's
characteristics.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs that have not been
correctly finalized (processing to allow play
by a normal CD player) cannot be played.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in multi-
session that have not ended by "closing the
session" are not supported.
• The system may be unable to play MP3/JPEG
format files that do not have the extender
".MP3," ".JPG," or ".JPEG."
• Attempting to play non-MP3/JPEG format
files that have the extender ".MP3," ".JPG,"
or ".JPEG" may result in noise or
malfunction. Playback is possible up to 8
levels.

displayed correctly.

– a disc to which data can be added (non-
finalized disc).
• Some CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVD-Rs or DVD-
RWs (in video mode) (DVD-RWs created in
video mode have the same format as a DVD

depending upon the recording quality or
physical condition of the disc, or the
