Even though my Marantz CD6000 OSE HiFi-CD player is no longer brand new, it can read CD-RW, and is not some cheap equipment. Because of the copy of the CD, however, he can play for "in one piece". Until some Ausmnahmen light-off of certain titles or the backward and forward navigation leads to the "crash" of the CD player ("Error"); you have to turn it off completely then. This tarnishes the use of CD immensely and is not worth the money.
