¡ Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back successfully due to incompatibility among writing software, a CD recorder (CD-

R/RW drive) and the discs.

¡ This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is not closed.

¡

This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contain other than CD-DA or MP3/WMA data.
