Synchro-Recording
Certain CD conditions may cause sound
dropout or noise in the recording results, or
even create unwanted tracks on the CD-R or

instructed in “On cleaning” above, and
record material to the CD-R or CD-RW

playback
When you playback a CD-R or CD-RW
recorded by a CD-R or CD-RW recorder,
you may not be able to playback depending
on the recording conditions (e.g., dirty disc,
etc.). Also, you should note that you need to
finalize a CD-R or CD-RW before playing
back on another system other than the one
used to make the recording. (Finalizing is a
process to complete the recording.)
After finalizing a CD-R, you can play it in
any conventional CD player. However,
depending on the state of the recording, there
may be sound skips during playback.
After finalizing a CD-RW, you can play it in
a CD-RW compatible player only.
