How to operate the MP3 player

Media

Media capable of playing MP3 includes CD-R and CD-RW discs.
Compared to CD-ROM media commonly used for music discs, CD-
R and CD-RW discs are fragile in high temperature/high humidity
environments and one section of the CD-R and CD-RW may
become incapable of playback. Fingerprints or scratches on the disc
may prevent playback or cause skipping during playback. Sections
of the CD-R and CD-RW may deteriorate if left inside a vehicle for
long periods of time. It is also recommended that CD-R and CD-RW
discs be kept in a light-blocking case because the discs are
vulnerable to ultra-violet light.
