Notes on CD-R and CD-RW User-edited CD-Rs (Recordable) and CD-RWs (Rewritable) can

be played back only if they are already finalized. This system can play CD-Rs or CD-RWs recorded on a personal

computer if they have been recorded in the audio CD format.This system can also play CD-Rs or CD-RWs if MP3, WMA, JPEG or MPEG4 files are recorded on them.However, some discs may not be played back because of their disc characteristics, recording conditions, or damage or stain on them.Especially, the configuration and characteristics of an MP3, WMA, JPEG or MPEG4 disc are determined by the writing (encoding) software and hardware used for recording. Therefore, due to the software and hardware used, the following symptoms may occur: Some discs may not be played back. Some tracks on an MP3 or WMA disc may be skipped or may

not be played back normally. Some files on a JPEG or MPEG4 disc may be played back

distortedly. Before playing back CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions

or cautions carefully. CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is caused by

the fact that the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular CDs.
