General
• This unit has been designed to reproduce CDs/CD Texts,
and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs (Rewritable) in audio
CD (CD-DA) and MP3/WMA (for KD-R304) formats.
Playing a CD-R or CD-RW
• Use only "finalized" CD-Rs or CD-RWs.
• This unit can play back multi-session discs; however,
unclosed sessions will be skipped while playing.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not be played back on this
unit:
– Discs are dirty or scratched.
– Moisture condensation has occurred on the lens inside
the unit.
– The pickup lens inside the unit is dirty.
– The files on the CD-R/CD-RW are written using the
"Packet Write" method.
– There are improper recording conditions (missing data,
etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, warped,
etc.).
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the
reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.
