Notes:

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
recorded 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 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 player’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 player requires discs and recordings to meet certain technical stan-
dards in order to achieve optimal playback quality. Pre-recorded DVDs
are automatically set to these standards. There are many different types
of recordable disc formats (including CD-R containing MP3 or WMA
files) and these require certain pre-existing conditions 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
copyright owner.

You have to set the disc format option to [Mastered] in order to make the
discs compatible with the players when formatting rewritable discs. When
setting the option to Live System, you cannot use it on player.
