Listening to Songs on CDs

Cautions

Handling CDs

• Do not leave discs exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.

• Handle CDs with your finger and thumb, holding the disc by the center hole and

outer rim. Do not touch or scratch the disc’s recording surface (the green side).

• Do not drop or stack discs.

• Do not place heavy objects on discs or subject them to strong impact.

• Do not affix stickers or other such materials on the label side. Placing stickers on

the disc may result in errors when data writing and scratch the disc.

• Use a felt-tip marker or other soft-tipped implement to write titles and other

information on the label side of discs.

• Store discs in their original cases or other suitable cases for protection.

• Before using the CD, please read the warning on the CD cover.

Cleaning Discs

• If a disc becomes dusty or soiled, gently wipe the disc with a soft cloth. Always

wipe outwards from the center using light, gentle strokes. Do not wipe the disk
in a circular pattern.

Precautions Concerning Use of the CD

• CD-R/RW discs to which audio tracks have been added, and CDs with mixed

audio tracks and data will not play back properly.

• The RG-7 is capable of playing back only commercial CDs that conform the

official standards-those that carry the “COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO”
logo. The usability and sound quality of audio discs that incorporate copyright
protection technology and other non-standard CDs cannot be guaranteed.

• For more detailed information on audio discs featuring copyright protection

technology and other non-standard CDs, please consult the disc vendor.

• You cannot save songs and styles to CDs, and you cannot delete songs or styles

recorded to CDs. Furthermore, you cannot format CDs.

• The prescribed format for CD-R/RW discs is “ISO9660 Level 1 Mode 1.”

• You may be unable to read using other formats.

CDs That Can Be Played Back

• Commercially available audio CDs

• CD-ROMs containing saved SMF music files

• CD included with the RG-7

• Player piano CDs
