Note about printable discs
The explanation about printable discs on page 10 of the
Owner’s Manual has been revised as follows.
(Before revision)
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable
recordable discs with this player will damage the
mechanism and cause it to malfunction.
(After revision)
Never use commercially available CD stabilizers with
this player. When using a printable recordable disc with
this player, only use a disc before its label side has been
printed. Using a disc after its label side has been printed
could cause it to become unbalanced due to the slight
weight of the ink, and this could lead to poor data-
recording quality.
