Some record companies sell copy-protected discs or

copy-controlled discs that may not play back correctly

CD standard, do not use them in this unit.
If you experience problems with such non-standard

About CD-R and CD-RW discs

CD-R discs can be recorded only once. Tracks (songs)
recorded in such discs cannot be deleted. However, if the
disc has not been finalized and sufficient space is available
on the disc, additional material can be recorded. After
finishing recording, finalizing a CD-R makes it playable in
most ordinary CD players (some CD players might not be
able to play these discs).
If a CD-RW disc becomes full, you can erase the recorded
data to allow reuse.
However, you cannot designate specific songs for erasure.
Even after being finalized, CD-RW discs can only be played
in players that specifically support their playback.
