Playing Back CDs
NOTES ON CD-R AND CD-RW DISCS
• This unit can play back CD-R and CD-RW discs as well as
conventional audio CDs. However, note that a CD-R or a
CD-RW disc must be "finalized" so that it can be played
back on this unit correctly.
"Finalization" is a process to create a TOC (Table Of
Contents) section on a recorded disc. If you attempt to play
back a non-finalized disc, especially a non-finalized CD-
RW disc on this unit, malfunction may occur since no TOC
section exists on the disc.
• When a non-finalized CD-R or a CD-RW disc is loaded or
ejected, it may take a considerably long time, but this is not
a malfunction.
• This unit does not support track skipping function. Even if
a CD-R disc or a CD-RW disc is created so that some
tracks are skipped during playback, this unit also plays
such tracks.
