Disc Compatibility
The Recorder can play standard DVDs, audio CDs, and MP3 music CDs. This section
describes the Recorder’s compatibility with different kinds of discs and files.
Playback Disc Compatibility
Size: The Recorder can playback 8 cm. (with the use of an adapter) and 12 cm. discs.
Format. This Recorder was designed and engineered to playback discs created by products
bearing one or more of the logos shown at the left.
CD-R/RW. The Recorder will play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in CD Audio format
or recorded as CD-ROMs containing MP3 or WMA files, or digital photo files.
DVD-R/RW. The Recorder will play DVD-R/RW discs that use DVD-Video format (Video
Mode), and DVD-RW discs that use the Video Recording (VR) format.
PC-Created Discs. If you record a disc on a personal computer, even if it is in one of the
compatible formats listed above, there is a small chance that settings of the software used
to create the disk might prevent the Recorder from playing it. If this happens, check with
the publisher of the software used to create the disc for more information.
The Recorder might not play discs with very complex directory structures (for example,
large numbers of folders within folders), or with very large numbers of music playlists.
While the specific number of playlists and the level of directory complexity required to
make a disc unplayable depends on many factors, this should not be an issue for most
discs created on a PC.
Some discs recorded using a
different DVD recorder, CD recorder,
or personal computer may not be playable
in this Recorder even though they were
made with software that is compatible
with the Recorder. Some possible reasons
for this include:
• the type of disc used
• damage, dirt or condensation on either
the disc or in the Recorder’s disc drive
• other reasons related to specific
formats; see the notes about individual
formats in this section
®
The Recorder can play discs created by
products that bear any of these logos.
