* Handle the discs carefully so as not to scratch
their surfaces.
* Keep the surfaces of the discs clean at all
times.
When cleaning the surfaces of discs, always
be sure to use the special cleaner and wipe the
surfaces in the directions shown in the figure
below.
• Wipe the surface
radially from the
center.
• Do not wipe the surface
in the circumferential
direction.
* Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to
the label surfaces of the discs.
When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental
CD label with paste protruding from the edge or
when a disc still bears traces of sticky tape or
adhesive labels, do not attempt to play it. If such a
disc is played on the CD player, you may find that
you cannot remove it or that some other kind of
malfunctioning may occur.
* Do not use discs which come in special
shapes.
Do not attempt to play heart-shaped or octagonal
discs or discs with any other special shapes. You
may find that you cannot remove them or that
some other kind of malfunctioning may occur in
the player.
* Use discs which satisfy the CD standards such
as those with the “CD logo”, “
” or “
TEXT
”
mark on their disc label surfaces.
No guarantees are made for playback if discs
which do not satisfy the appropriate CD standards
are used.
Similarly, no guarantees are made for their sound
quality even if it is possible to play such discs.
* To protect your discs from damage, avoid
placing them in the following locations.
• Where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or
where they will be close to a heater or other heat-
radiating appliance
• Where the humidity level is high or it is very
dusty
• Near a window or other such location where they
may be exposed to rain
* Get into the habit of putting the discs back in
their cases after use.

aBOut plaYING cOpY-cONtrOlled cds
Some copy-controlled CDs may not conform to
official CD standards. They are special discs and
may not play on the unit.
plaYING cd-r/cd-rW dIscs
This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable)
discs as well as ordinary Audio CD and CD-R
(Recordable) discs.
• The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain
properly-recorded TOC* information so that they
can be played back. In CD recorders, the task of
writing TOC information is referred to as finalizing
the disc. Discs that are not finalized cannot be
properly recognized as an Audio CD and played
back by regular CD players and Super Audio CD
players. For details, please read the instruction
manual provided with a CD recorder.
* TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains
information such as the total number of tracks
and total playing time of the disc.
• This unit can play CD format, video CD format,
and CD-R/CD-RW discs which contain WMA/
MP3 music data. However, some discs may have
problems such as unable to play, noise or sound
distortion.
• This device is exclusively a playback device. It
cannot record CD-R/CD-RW discs.
• As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates
partial change of the player setup, it may take
longer time for reading the TOC information than
when an Audio CD or CD-R disc is played.
• Depending on the application settings and
environment, discs recorded with a personal
computer may not be able to be played. Please
record with the correct format. (For details,
please inquire at your application sales agent.)
• Discs recorded with the packet writing system
cannot be played.
• Mixed mode CD/enhanced CD and DTS CD discs
cannot be played.
• CD-G, video CD and DVD discs cannot be
played.

• “DualDisc” contains DVD-standard-compliant
video and audio on one side and audio for playing
on a CD player on the other side, respectively.
• Since the non-DVD audio side does not conform
to common CD physical standards, it may not be
able to be played.
• In regard to details such as “DualDisc”
specifications and standards, please inquire at
your selling agent or distributor.
aBOut usB medIa
• Music files cannot be played by connecting
this unit to a personal computer with a USB
cable. This is a device that belongs to a class
of USB mass storage such as USB memory
(FAT16, FAT32 format supported), which this unit
supports.
• There are cases where playback of all USB
memory or supplying electrical power cannot
be guaranteed. In addition, please note that we
cannot assume any responsibility in the unlikely
event of loss of USB memory files.
