  • Do not use deformed or cracked CDs. Otherwise, the disc may not eject resulting in a malfunction.

  • Do not use discs with partially peeled off labels, and cellophane tape or rental CD label's adhesive material exuding from the edges of the CD label. Also, do not use discs with a commercially-available CD-R label applied. Otherwise, the disc may not eject resulting in a malfunction.

  • Do not insert cleaning discs in the CD player.

  • Do not place fingers or objects in the CD slot. Otherwise, it could cause damage.

  • CD-R/CD-RW may not playback depending on the condition of the recorder and disc used for recording.

  • CD-R/CD-RW that have not been finalized (process to make it playable on a standard CD player) cannot be played.

  • CD-R/CD-RW exceeding 700 MB cannot be played.

  • This device may not be able to play certain CD-R/CD-RWs made using a computer or music recorder due to disc characteristics, scratches, or dirt.

  • Discs recorded on a computer may not play due to the application (writing software) setting and circumstances. Record with the correct format (for details, consult the store where the application was purchased).

  • It is possible that certain text data, such as titles, recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW may not be displayed when musical data (CD-DA) is playing.

  • The period from when inserting a CD-RW to when it starts playing is longer than a normal CD or CD-R.

For the correct use of DVDs (Glossary)

DVD-Video

DVD-Video is a video image storing standard determined by the DVD forum.

“MPEG2”, a global standard in digital compression technologies, has been adopted which compresses on average about 1/40th of the image data and stores it. In addition, a variable-rate coding technology, which changes the assigned information amount according to the shape of the screen image, has been adopted. Audio information can be stored using Dolby digital instead of PCM and more realistic sounding audio can be enjoyed.

In addition, various, supplementary functions such as multi-angle and multi-language availability are provided for enhanced enjoyment.

DVD-VR

DVD-VR is short for DVD Video Recording Format; video image storing standard determined by the DVD forum.

Multi-angle

One of the DVD player’s functions. Because scenes can be recorded in multiple angles (camera position), users can choose a desired angle.

Multi-language

As a function of the DVD player, audio or subtitles for the same video images can be stored in multiple languages and the language can be selected freely.

Region code

DVD players and discs are assigned codes for each market region and only discs manufactured for that specific region can be played.

A disc cannot be played if the region code assigned to the player differs from the disc.

In addition, even if a region code is not indicated on the disc, disc playback may be prohibited depending on the region. In this case, a disc might not be playable in this DVD player.

Refer to DVD (Search).

USB audio device

Playable data files registered to USB memory devices are as follows:

Audio files: MP3, WMA, AAC, MP4, 3GPP, WAV, FLAC, OGG
