Caution:

Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged.

Playing such discs could cause irreparable harm to the playing
mechanisms.

Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recommended because

their label sides could be sticky and damage the unit.

Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do not

use any protective coating sprays.

Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write information on the

label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this could
cause damage to the recorded side.

Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers

with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to
malfunction.

Do not use irregularly-shaped discs (octagonal, heart-shaped, busi-

ness card size, etc.). CDs with these shapes could damage the unit.

Handling precautions

Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side up. Only

one side of a Compact Disc can be played or used for recording.

To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center

of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

Storage precautions

Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and

scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high-temperature and

humidity for extended periods. Long exposure to high tempera-
tures will warp discs.

CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat

and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are
not stored in locations where they will be exposed to direct sun-
light. They should also be kept away from sources of heat, such as
radiators and heat-generating electrical devices.

Maintenance

If a disc becomes dirty, wipe its surface radially from the center

hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry cloth.

Never clean discs using chemicals such as record sprays, antistatic

sprays and fluids and thinner. Such chemicals will do irreparable
damage to the disc’s plastic surface.

If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R or
CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc or contact
the disc manufacturer.

Cautions when preparing MP3/WMA files using a computer or
other device

Always add the correct extension to the file name. Files without

Always close the session (complete disc creation). This unit cannot

play discs if the session has not been closed.

Carefully read the manual for the software that you are using when

you create an MP3/WMA disc.

MP3/WMA format cannot be played even if they have extensions.
