1 – Introduction
Beware of condensation
Condensation could occur if the unit is moved from a cold place
to a warm place, it is used immediately after a cold room has
been heated or it is otherwise exposed to a sudden temperature
change.
To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the unit sit for one or two
hours at the new room temperature before using it.
Cleaning the unit
Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the unit clean. Do not wipe
with chemical cleaning cloths, thinner, alcohol or other
chemical agents. Doing so could damage the surface or cause
discoloration.
About compact discs
In addition to commercially-available music CDs, this unit can
play CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been recorded in audio CD
(CD-DA) format, as well as CD-R and CD-RW discs that have MP3
and WAV audio files recorded on them.
ATTENTION
8cm CDs cannot be used with this unit. If an 8cm CD is
loaded, it will be automatically ejected. If it stops ejecting
before it can be removed, press the EJECT key.
Precautions for use
o
For recording, use compact discs that have one of the
following marks.
CD-R
CD-RW
o
Always insert the compact discs in the slot with their label
facing upward.
o
To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center of
the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it carefully by
the edges.
o
Do not touch the signal side (the unlabeled side).
Fingerprints, oils and other substances can cause errors
during playback.
o
To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry
cloth from the center towards the outside edge. Dirt on discs
can lower the sound quality, so clean them and always store
them in a clean state.
o
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene,
paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they
could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause CDs
to become unplayable.
o
Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use
discs that have had tape, stickers or other materials applied
to their surface. Do not use discs that have sticky residue
from stickers, etc. Such discs could become stuck in the unit
or cause it to malfunction.
o
Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer. Using
stabilizers with this player will damage the mechanism and
cause it to malfunction.
o
Do not use cracked discs.
o
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circular
promotional, etc. discs.
o
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection system,
have been released from several record companies in an
attempt to protect the copyright. Since some of these discs
do not comply with the CD specifications, they may not be
playable on the unit.
o
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R
and CD-RW discs, read the precautions supplied with the
disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
About CD-R and CD-RW discs
CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been
used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded.
However, if space is available on the disc, additional material can
be recorded. By finalizing a CD-R that you have finished using
for recording, you can make it playable by most ordinary CD
players. (Some CD players might not be able to play back CD-R
discs even if they are finalized.)
CD-RW discs allow recorded tracks to be erased to make space
available again, allowing disc reuse. However, tracks can only
be erased in the order from the last added. To erase a track in
the middle, you must erase all the tracks added after it at the
same time. Finalized CD-RW discs can only be played back in CD
players that support CD-RW disc playback.
