Notes on playing MP3 discs

on a disc that has MP3 files.

recording device, and recording media cannot be
guaranteed. Incompatible MP3 discs may produce
noise or interrupted audio or may not play at all.
Notes on playing multisession discs
• If the disc begins with a CD-DA (or MP3) session, it is
recognized as a CD-DA (or MP3) disc, and playback
continues until another session is encountered.
• A disc with a mixed CD format is recognized as a CD-
DA (audio) disc.
