There are two types of recordable AUDIO discs: CD-R(W) discs have a compatibility to play/record on the CDRecorders based on the ORENGE BOOK Part II/III. But the discs might not be able to be played/recorded properly depending on the combinations of the discs and CD-Recorders. 1 CD Recordable Audio (record once): Fully recorded and subsequently finalized audio CD-R discs can be played on all CD players and recorders that are suitable for CD-R discs.

To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the following locations: - In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater. - In a place which is damp or dirty. - In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as near a window.
