≥This unit plays CD-R/CD-RW discs (audio recording discs) which
have been recorded under one of the following standards: CD-DA,
MP3 and Video CD. Close the session or finalize the disc after
recording.
Play may be impossible on some CD-R or CD-RW discs due to the
condition of the recording.
≥The producer of the discs can control how discs are played. So you
may not always be able to control play as described in these
operating instructions. Read the disc's instructions carefully.
Regarding DVD-Audio
Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing
(➡ page 70) of all or part of their contents if this is the
manufacturer's intention. When playing such discs, or such parts
of the disc, unless the number of connected speakers is the
same as the disc's channel specification, audio will not be output
properly (e.g. part of the audio is missing, multi-channel audio
cannot be selected and audio is played in two channels). Refer to
the disc's jacket for more information.
