Recordable (CD-R) and CD Rewritable (CD-RW)).

Caution: Do not mix old and new batteries. Never
mix different types of batteries (standard, alkaline,
etc.).
Safety Information
¶
Do not expose the system to excessive moisture, rain, sand,
or heat sources.
¶
Place the player on a firm, flat surface.
¶
Keep the player away from domestic heating equipment
and direct sunlight.
¶
In a cabinet, allow about 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space all
around the player for adequate ventilation.
¶
If the DVD Player cannot read CDs/DVDs correctly, use a
commonly available cleaning CD/DVD to clean the lens
before taking the DVD Player to be repaired. Other
cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the
tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.
¶
The lens may cloud over when the DVD Player is suddenly
moved from cold to warm surroundings. Playing a CD/DVD is
not possible then. Leave the power on for about one hour with
no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible.
Cleaning Discs
¶
When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
¶
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for analog
discs.
