PC-created disc compatibility

If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it
is recorded in a "compatible format" as listed above, there
will be cases in which the disc may not be playable in this
recorder due to the setting of the application software

check with the software publisher for more detailed
information.

for additional compatibility information.
