Notes on CD-Rs/RWs
¡You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs recorded using CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due to
their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints, scratches, etc. on the disc surface.

a car for extended periods may damage and make playback impossible.
¡Some CD-R/RW discs cannot be played back successfully due to incompatibility among writing software, a CD recorder
(CD-R/RW drive) and the discs.
¡This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is not closed.
¡This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contain other than CD-DA or MP3/WMA data.
¡Be sure to observe the instructions of the CD-R/RW disc for handling it.
