Handling Compact Discs

This unit has been designed specifically for play­back of compact discs bearing the mark.
No other discs can be played.

To remove the compact disc from its storage
case, press down on the center of the case
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the
edges.

Always handle the compact disc by the edges.
Never touch the surface.

To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft
cloth, and wipe in a straight line from the center
of the compact disc to the circumference.

New discs may have some roughness around
the edges. The unit may not work or the sound
may skip if such discs are used. Use a ball-point
pen, etc. to remove roughness from the edge
of the disc.

Note on compact discs

Never stick labels on the surface of the compact
disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.

Do not use any solvents such as commercially
available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner
to clean compact discs.

Do not use compact discs that have large
scratches, are misshapen, or cracked, etc.
Use of such discs will cause misoperation or
damage.

Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight
or any heat source.

Note:
Do not use commercially available CD protection sheets or discs equipped with stabilizers, etc. These

may get caught in the internal mechanism and damage the disc.

What is MP3?

MP3 is an audio compression method and clas­sified into audio layer 3 of MPEG standards. This
audio compression method has penetrated into
PC users and become a standard format. This
MP3 features the original audio data compres­sion to about 12 percent of its initial size with a
high quality sound. This means that about 10
music CDs can be recorded on a CD-R disc or
CD-RW disc to allow a long listening time without
having to change CDs.

What is WMA?

WMA is the abbreviation of Windows Media Au­dio, an audio file format developed by Microsoft
