Recorded discs

Before playback, finalize the disc on the device it was recorded on.

It may not be possible to play all the above-mentioned discs in some 
cases due to the type of disc, the condition of the recording, the 
recording method, or how the files were created (

Do not attach labels or stickers to discs. This may cause disc warping, 
rendering it unusable.

instrument.

Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, liquids which

to avoid this.

Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.

Before using chemically treated cloth, carefully read the instructions that 
came with the cloth.

Do not use commercially available lens cleaners as they may cause
