DualDiscs
DualDiscs are two-sided discs that have a recordable
CD for audio on one side and a recordable DVD for
video on the other.
Since the CD side of DualDiscs is not physically com-
patible with the general CD standard, it may not be
possible to play the CD side with this unit.
Frequent loading and ejecting of a DualDisc may re-
sult in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches can
lead to playback problems on this unit. In some
cases, a DualDisc may become stuck in the disc load-
ing slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recom-
mend you refrain from using DualDisc with this unit.
Please refer to the information from the disc manu-
facturer for more detailed information about Dual-
Discs.

USB storage device
Playback sequence is the same as recorded
sequence in the USB storage device.
To specify the playback sequence, the follow-
ing method is recommended.
1 Create a file name that includes numbers that
specify the playback sequence (e.g., 001xxx.
mp3 and 099yyy.mp3).
2 Put those files into a folder.
3 Save the folder containing files on the USB
storage device.
