Handling Discs - Kenwood K-821DV Instruction Manual

Precautions when writing data to media
Discs recorded in Packet Write mode and CDs recorded in UDF (Universal Disc Format) cannot be played.
When writing data to a disc, always close the session or fi nalize the disc. The disc may not play properly if you do not close
the session or fi nalize the disc.
Depending on the specifi cations of the writing software used, the recorded folder names and fi le names may not be dis-
played correctly.
Playback for multi-session discs or discs that contain large numbers of folders may take longer to begin than for normal
discs.
If you write audio fi les and music CD tracks (CD-DA format) to the same disc, the disc may not play correctly.
When a disc contains diff erent types of fi le (audio, still image, and video), select one of them to play the disc. Audio is
selected as the default setting.
Before writing audio, still image, and video fi les to a disc, check that the fi les play back correctly on the PC being used to
write the fi les.
After you fi nish writing, check that the written fi les are played back correctly.
Use the correct fi le extensions in the names of fi les. Files without fi le extensions will not play. Also, do not use incorrect
extensions for fi les that cannot be played by the system.
For more information on fi le extensions, see <Supported Files> on the next page.

Handling Discs

Handling precautions
Hold a disc taking care not to touch the played surface.
Discs playable on the system
This system can play back a CD (12 cm, 8 cm), CD-ROM, CD-
R, CD-RW, DVD VIDEO, DVD-R, DVD-RW or the audio part of
a CD-EXTRA disc.
A disc without these markings may be unable to be played
back correctly.
For DVD VIDEO, the system can play back a disc only with
the same region number as the system or "ALL".
The region number of the system can be found on the rear
panel of the main unit. (See P.10)
Important information
Notes on CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/
DVD+R/DVD+RW discs
If the disc being used has a printable label surface, the label
surface may cause sticking that makes it impossible to
remove the disc from the system. To prevent malfunction
of the system, do not use such a disc.
Cautions on CD/DVD discs
The disc rotates at a high speed during playback. Never
use a cracked, chipped or greatly warped disc. Otherwise,
damage or malfunction of the player may result.
Also, do not use a disc with a non-circular shape as this may
result in malfunction.
