Precautions for use
o
Do not use cracked discs because they could damage
the unit.
o
Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not
use discs that have had tape, stickers or similar materials
removed from them as they may have left a sticky resi-
due on the disc’s surface. Other discs to avoid are ones
that have exposed glue around the edges of stickers, for
example. Using such a disc in this unit could cause the
disc to become stuck or could damage the unit.
o
When writing something on the label side of a disc, use
a felt tip permanent marker. The use of a ballpoint pen or
other pen with a hard tip could damage the disc, making
it unplayable.
o
Never use commercially-available CD stabilizers. Doing
so could make the disc unplayable or damage the unit.
o
Never use discs with irregular shapes, including heart-
shaped and octagonal discs, because they could
damage the unit.
o
To remove a disc from its case, while pressing down on
the center of the case, hold the disc by its edges. Do not
touch the side of the disc that has the data encoded on
it (unlabeled side).
