Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage can cause a deterioration in the sound or intermittent skipping some tracks during play.

abel Side

• This unit has been designed to play compact bearing the identification logo shown on the left. Discs bearing other types of identification logos may not play properly.

• Playback may not be possible due to the characteristics of the CD recorder or the CD-R/RW used, or due to scratches or dirt on the CD.

• For some CD-R/RWs, depending on the quality of their recording or storage media used, playback may not be possible due to deterioration of recorded of material.

• Do not use non-conventional discs such as heart-shaped, octagonal discs, etc. The player could be damaged.

• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped from the signal surface of the disc (glossy side) with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc. Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has no grooves to collect dust and debris. Small dust particles will have no effect on reproduction quality.

discs

• Do not insert a disc which is cracked into the unit.

• Do not apply paper or write anything on the disc.

• To prevent warping the disc, do not expose it to direct sunlight, high humidity or high temperatures for extended periods.

periods, remove the compact disc and return it to the plastic storage case. This will protect the disc from dust and exposure to the sun.

• Mixed-mode CDs This product can only play audio tracks on mixed-mode CDs. The initial track contains non-audio data, and so it does not produce any sound. Playback will start from the next track. (Mixed-mode CDs are CDs which contain both non-audio data and audio tracks.)

• CDs containing copy control protection technology. It is possible that some CDs with copy control protection (added to prevent computer duplication) may not play on this unit. This is due to the CD with copy control protection not conforming to CD standards and is not due to a malfunction of this unit.
