Important notes on handling CDs
1
Carefully lift the disc from the disc case,
making sure to hold the disc by its edges
or the hole in the middle.
2
A dry, soft cloth may be used to wipe dust
and fingerprints off the surface of CDs.
Do not use volatile agents on discs, such
as thinner or benzine. Also, do not use
conventional record cleaner or antistatic
agents.
• Do not place a CD in direct sunlight or locations
subject to high humidity or low temperature.
• Do not store a CD in the unit’s disc tray for a
long period of time.
Playable discs
This unit can play back the following discs.
You cannot play back discs other than those listed
above.
Do not use discs that are not audio discs (eg. CD-
ROMs for use with personal computers), as these
could damage the speakers and amplifier.
Avoid using heart-shaped or octagonal discs. Playing
irregularly shaped discs may damage the internal
mechanism of the unit.
Do not use discs that have residue from adhesive
tape, rental discs that have peeling labels, or discs
that have custom labels or stickers. Otherwise, you
may not be able to eject the discs or the unit may
become inoperative.
The MD is housed in a cartridge, so you can handle it
without worrying about dust and fingerprints. Even so,
a dirty or warped cartridge may malfunction. Always
remember the following precautions so you can enjoy
high-quality sound for a long time.
Do not touch the disc in the cartridge directly
with your fingers.
Do not open the shutter by hand. Doing so may
damage the disc.
Storage location
Avoid storing MDs in a place subject to direct
sunlight, high temperature, or high humidity.
When the unit is not to be used for an extended
period
Remove the MD from the unit to prevent dust from
entering the MD cartridge. When the MD is in the unit,
the shutter of the MD cartridge remains open.
Regular care
Wipe off dust and dirt that has accumulated on the
cartridge surface with a dry cloth.
Removing a partially inserted MD
If the “self-lock function” is activated and the MD
cannot be removed, push the MD further into the MD
disc slot and then press MD (eject) to remove the
MD.
Protecting recordings from accidental
erasure
You can protect your MDs from accidental recording
by sliding the record-protect tab on the MDs to open
the record-protect window. To make the MDs
recordable again, return the record-protect tab.
