Disc handling precautions
Handling
Hold compact discs so that you do not touch the playing surface.
Label side
÷Do not attach paper or tape to either
the playing side or the label side of compact discs.
÷The paste left on the label surface after
a sticker has been peeled off is a factor which may cause malfunction. If the surface is sticky due to remaining paste, be sure to clean it with alcohole before use.
Sticker
Playing side
Sticky paste
Caution on disc used
Discs which can be played with this unit
Cleaning
If fingerprints or foreign matter become attached to the disc, lightly wipe the disc with a soft cotton cloth (or similar) from the center of the disc outwards, in a radial manner.
Storage
When a disc is not to be played for a long period of time, remove it from the CD player and store it in its case.
Never play a cracked or warped disc.
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player. Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a cracked or deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.
Do not use cleaning discs.
Please do not use commercially available cleaning discs, they may dam­age the internal mechanism.
CD (12 cm, 8 cm), CDV (only the audio part)
÷With CD-G (CD Graphics) discs, this unit can play only the audio.
Preparation
Notes on cassette tape
Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)
After an important recording has been finished, break the safety tab, to prevent the recorded contents from being erased or recorded on accidentally.
For A side
For B side
Apply tape only to the position where the tab has been removed.
Note
Note
To re-record
1. Longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape
Since longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape is very thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be easily cut. It is recommended that these tapes not be used with this unit to prevent possible damage.
To store cassette tapes
Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to direct sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat. Keep the cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.
N
S
When there is slack in the tape
In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind the reel hub to remove the slack.
2. Endless tapes
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of the unit.
