CD-R/CD-RW disc play
In addition to conventional music CDs and CD-R
(recordable) discs, this player can also play CD-RW
(rewritable) discs. It also supports the unfinalized
discs that cannot be played by regular CD players.
Playing unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs
CD players normally play only those discs on which
the TOC information* has been recorded. This means
that in order for a CD player to play a CD-R/CD-RW
disc with music recordings, the disc has to be "final-
ized" by writing the TOC information onto it.
Discs for which this finalizing job has not been done
are called unfinalized discs. This player is designed to
play these unfinalized discs as well.
*"TOC" stands for the table of contents which
contains the total number of tracks, the total play
time and other such information on the disc. This
information is recorded on the inner circumfer-
ence area of the disc.
Precautions for unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs
Take care not to scratch or dirty the area near the
innermost circumference of unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW
discs. Scratches, dirt or other abnormalities in this
area may make it impossible for the disc to be read.
On unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs recorded using a
CD recorder for audio applications, provisional TOC
information is recorded in the PMA area* which is
further inside from the TOC information area. This
player supports unfinalized discs by reading the
information in the PMA area, but because this area is
extremely narrow, any scratches, dirt or other abnor-
malities here make it impossible for discs to be read.
On some discs, this area may be very difficult to read.
In cases like this, use the disc after using a CD
recorder to do the finalizing. It is recommended that
the finalizing be done before scratches or dirt makes it
hard for the discs to be read.
*"PMA" stands for program memory area and it
refers to the area where the provisional contents
information, such as the number of tracks and
play times recorded on the CD-R/CD-RW discs, is
recorded. Discs cannot be played by this player
unless the PMA has been recorded properly.
Notes:
This player supports the discs which have been
