Compatible Formats
In order to ensure playback, discs must conform 
with DVD and CD standards. This unit may not 
play some recordings or files due to differences 
in  recording  formats,  software  used  and  disc 
types.
DVD-Video
Digital  video  discs  -  12  cm,  single  or 
double sided, single or dual layer. DVDs 
are high density  optical  discs  on  which 
high  quality  picture  and  audio  are 
recorded by means of digital signals.
DVD-R, DVD-RW
Most  DVD-R  (one  recording  only)  and 
DVD-RW discs (rewritable), depending on 
the DVD writer and discs used. Recordings 
using DVD-R and DVD-RW discs must be 
made in Video DVD mode. 
Audio CDs
Audio CDs (12 cm).
CD-R, CD-RW
Most  CD-R  (one  recording  only)  and  
CD-RW discs (rewritable).
CD-Rs  written  during  a  multisession  recording 
can  be  played,  provided  that  the  session  has 
ended before the disc is played (depending on 
the write software).
However, depending on the condition of the CD-
writer, computer and the disc used, you may find 
that not all discs will play. When playing a CD-R disc, 
it is normal for the unit to take up to 20 seconds to 
recognize the disc before starting to play.
If the disc is not recognized after a period of 20 
seconds, remove the disc, and insert it again.
