Note the following: (1) A little longer time is needed to sense a CD-RW disc when the operation starts, compared with normal CD-ROM discs. (2) The read-out speed of CD-RW discs is usually 4 times higher than that of normal discs. However, according to the quality of the disc or under extremely hot or cold conditions, the player may reduce the speed of rotation of the disc during read-out. (Because the reproduced signal level from CD-RW discs is lower than that of normal discs.) (3) Blank discs, discs where you failed to write data or discs where session close processing has not been made - these discs cannot be used. (4) The operations may not start or the data may not be read out under the following conditions: The quality of the recorded signal has deteriorated due to the dirt or scratches on the disc, or frequently rewrote discs. If you fail to start the operation, take out the disc and reinsert it to try again to start. ÷ Correspondence to Kodak Photo CD (single and multisession) ÷ Conforming to MPC-3 specifications ÷ Half-height size ÷ Slot in loading ÷ Windows 95 and Windows 98 (Plug and Play) supported *Windows is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation.
