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

into the case.
• The connector connecting the unit and the DCP is
an extremely important part. Be careful not to
damage it by pressing on it with fingernails,
screwdrivers, etc.
