General
•  This unit has been designed to reproduce 
CDs/CD Texts, and CD-Rs (Recordable)/CD-RWs 
(Rewritable) in audio CD (CD-DA), MP3 and WMA 
formats.

data, etc.) or media conditions (stained, scratched, 
warped, etc.).
•  CD-RWs may require a longer readout time since the 
reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than that of regular 
CDs.
•  Do not use the following CD-Rs or CD-RWs:
–  Discs with stickers, labels, or a protective seal stuck 
to the surface.
–  Discs on which labels can be directly printed by an
