process that allows discs to be played on a conventional CD player) cannot be
played.

recorder or a personal computer because of disc characteristics, scratches or
dirt on the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the lens of the unit.
●It may not be possible to play discs recorded on a personal computer depend-
ing on the application settings and the environment. Record with the correct
format. (For details, contact the appropriate application manufacturers of the
applications.)

temperatures or other storage conditions. The unit may be unable to play dam-
aged discs.
