Which types of disc can NOT be played?
dCS
cannot accept responsibility for any difficulty encountered while attempting to play the following
types of disc:
•
Scratched, damaged or dirty discs.
•
Non-circular “discs”, such as square or heart-shaped.
•
Printed or labelled CD-Rs or discs contaminated with glue or other sticky substances.
!
Contaminated discs may get stuck to the turntable inside the unit. If this happens, a
service charge will be made for removing the disc and repairing any damage.
•
DVD, CD-G, CD-EXTRA, PHOTO CD, CD-ROM or DVD-ROM.
•
Discs recorded with digital audio data that is not in CD-format (e.g. FLAC or WAV files).
•
Copy-protected discs that do not conform to the “Red-Book” CD standard may not play correctly or
may not play at all. Such discs are not CDs – they are optical discs that have been recorded with
digital audio data. They should not carry the Compact Disc Digital Audio logo – but some do. If you
encounter any difficulty playing such discs, please contact the disc manufacturer and demand a
genuine CD
in exchange.
