ing a CD into the transport tray, always hold the disc by it edge (see Figure 6). Load the disc label side up and 
place it in the disc tray. Never touch the signal surface (the glossy side). To remove a disc from the tray press

CAUTION:

•   

NEVER 

attempt to load any other objects besides a 3" or 5" CD.

•  NEVER

 attempt to load more than one disc at a time. Doing so may result in sever damage to your unit.

•   

NEVER

 force the transport tray open or closed when the power is off, as this may result in malfunction    

  and damage the transport system.
