 Playback of discs created on a computer
Depending on the application's settings and the computer's environ-
ment settings, it may not be possible to play discs created on a com-
puter. Record discs in a format playable on this unit. For details, contact
your application's selling agent.
It may not be possible to play discs created on a computer due to the
disc's properties, scratches or dirt, or poor recording quality (dirt on the
recording lens, etc.).
See Handling discs on page 39 for instructions on handling discs.
 Creating backup discs
When CD-R/-RW discs are paused or left in the pause mode at cue
points for long periods of time, it may become difficult to play the disc at
that point, due to the properties of the disc. Also, when a specific point
is looped repeatedly an extremely large number of times, it may become
difficult to play that point.
When playing valuable discs, we recommend making backup discs.
