be responsible for any consequences or guarantee the quality of

discs, you should contact their issuers.
< Discs created by a CD recorder must be finalized before use with
this unit. If you are uncertain about the handling of a CD-R or
CD-RW disc, please contact the seller of the disc directly.
Depending on disc quality and recording conditions, playback of
some discs might not be possible. Please see the manual for the
device that you used to create the disc.
CAUTION
< Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged.
Playing such discs could cause irreparable harm to the playing
mechanisms.

use any protective coating sprays.

Discs

< 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,
business-card-size, etc.). CDs with these shapes could damage the
unit.

Handling precautions

< Always insert the disc into 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.
How to remove the disc
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
temperatures 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
sunlight. 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 disc, read the
precautions supplied with the disc or contact the disc manufacturer.
