How to hold a disc
¡ Do not touch the underside of a disc.
¡ Do not scratch on a disc.
Printed side
¡ Do not bend a disc.
¡ When not in use, keep a disc in a case.
Do not use irregularly shaped discs.
Do not leave discs in the following places:
¡ Direct sunlight
¡ Near car heaters
¡ Dirty, dusty and damp areas
¡ Seats and dashboards

Do not attach any seals or labels to your discs.
Do not write on the disc label with a ballpoint pen or
other hard-point pens.
¡ You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs
recorded using CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due
to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
¡ CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and
high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them
inside a car for extended periods may damage and make
playback impossible.
¡ You may encounter trouble in playing MP3/WMA files or
displaying the information of MP3/WMA files recorded with
certain writing software or CD recorders.
¡ The file extension “.mp3” or “.wma” should be assigned to
each file depending on the file format.
¡ This unit does not have the play list function.
¡ Although Multi-session recording is supported, the use of
Disc-at-Once is recommended.
¡ Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back successfully due
to incompatibility among writing software, a CD recorder
(CD-R/RW drive) and the discs.
¡ This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is
not closed.
Supported file systems
ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2, Apple Extension to ISO 9660, Joliet,
