Notes on discs
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 unit.
Do not attach any seal or label to either side (the labeled side or the record-
ed side) of a disc.
Do not use irregularly shaped CDs (e.g., heart-shaped or octagonal). Doing
so may result in malfunctions.
Depending on the recording software & 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 Unit'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.)
This unit requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical standards
in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs are auto-
matically set to these standards. There are many different types of record-
able disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA files) and these
require certain pre-existing conditions (see above) to ensure compatible
playback.
Customers should note that permission is required in order to download
MP3 / WMA files and music from the Internet. Our company has no right to
grant such permission. Permission should always be sought from the copy-
right owner.
