Note
• Depending on the conditions of the
recording equipment or the CD-R/RW
(or DVD±R/RW) disc itself, some
CD-R/RW (or DVD±R/RW) discs
cannot be played on the recorder.
• Do not attach any seal or label to
either side (the labeled side or the
recorded side) of a disc.
• Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (for
example, heart-shaped or octagonal).
Doing so may result in malfunctions.
• Depending on the recording software
and the finalization, some recorded
discs (CD-R/RW or DVD±R/RW) may
not be playable.
• DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW and
CD-R/RW discs recorded using a
personal computer or a DVD or CD
recorder may not play if the disc is
damaged or dirty or if there is dirt or
condensation on the recorder’s lens.
• If you record a disc using a personal
computer, even if it is recorded in a
compatible format, there are cases in
which it may not play because of the
settings of the application software
used to create the disc. (Check with
the software publisher for more
detailed information.)
• Your recorder requires discs and
recordings to meet certain technical
standards in order to achieve optimal
playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs
are automatically set to these
standards. There are many different
types of recordable disc formats
(including CD-R containing MP3 or
WMA files) and these require certain
pre-existing conditions (see above) to
ensure compatible playback.
• You should note that permission is
required in order to download MP3 or
WMA files and music from the Internet.
