CDs
When playing audio CDs, note the following:
• PMD-100CD can play Music CDs and CD-R discs. Both are usually marked with
the Compact Disc Digital Audio logo (see image).
• Do not play discs in non-circular shapes (heart-shaped discs, octagonal discs, etc.;
see image) or discs that have been repaired with adhesive or tape. These can
damage the unit.
• PMD-100CD can play finalized discs only. (Finalization is the process that makes
recorded CD-R discs playable on compatible players.)
• Depending on the software used to burn a CD (or other conditions), some CDs may
not play correctly.
When playing CDs with audio files, note the following:
• The writing software format must be ISO9660 Level 1.
• You can have up to 300 folders and up to 8 folder levels, including the root directory.
• You can have up to 300 audio files. If the CD contains more than 300 files, some audio files may not play or
appear correctly.
• File names, folder names, and text characters can use up to 255 characters. Only uppercase letters, lowercase
letters, numbers, and symbols can be displayed. Japanese file names will not be shown. File names that begin
with a "." will not be shown.
• Copyright-protected files might not play properly and/or may appear as Unknown File.
• Depending on the software used to burn a CD (or other conditions), some files may not play or appear correctly.
• When playing audio files on a CD, PMD-100CD supports the following tag data:
ID3 tags: Version 1.x and 2.x

Be careful not to scratch discs when removing them from their cases. Do not bend or heat discs,
and do not enlarge the hole in the center of the disc. Do not write on the labeled surface of the
disc or attach new labels to discs.
If fingerprints, dirt, or condensation are on a disc, clean it with a commercially available disc
cleaning set or a soft, dry cloth. Gently wipe it from the inside towards the outside, not in a circular
motion. Do not use record spray, antistatic agents, benzene, thinner, or other solvents.
After using discs, remove them from the unit and store them in their cases to protect them from
dust, scratches, warping, etc. Do not store discs in places exposed to long periods of direct
sunlight or places exposed to heat, dust, humidity, etc.
