• In some cases, CD-Rs/-RWs and

DVD-Rs/-RWs/+Rs/+RWs cannot be

played back on this system due to the

recording quality or physical condition

of the disc, or the characteristics of the

recording device and authoring

software. The disc will not be played

back if it has not been correctly

finalized. For more information, see the

operation instructions for the recording

device.

• Note that some playback functions may

not work with some DVD+Rs/+RWs,

even if they have been correctly

finalized. In this case, view the disc by

normal playback.

• A disc created in Packet Write format

cannot be played back.

Some playback operations of DVD

VIDEOs and VIDEO CDs may be

designed, some playback features may not

be available. Also, refer to the instructions

supplied with the DVD VIDEOs or

VIDEO CDs.

This product is designed to play back

discs that conform to the Compact Disc

(CD) standard. Recently, various music

discs encoded with copyright protection

technologies are marketed by some record

companies. Please be aware that among

those discs, there are some that do not

conform to the CD standard and may not

be playable by this product.

• This system can play back Multi

Session discs when an MP3 audio file

(or a JPEG image file) is contained in

the first session. Any subsequent MP3

audio files (or JPEG image files)

recorded in later sessions can also be

played back.

• If the first session is recorded in AUDIO

CD or VIDEO CD format, only the first

session will be played back.

• The system will recognize a Multi

Session disc as an AUDIO CD if there is

a session recorded in AUDIO CD

format on the disc. However, the system

will only play back the disc if the first

session is recorded in AUDIO CD

format.
