Disc handling precautions
Handling
Hold the discs so that you do not touch the playing surface.
Label side Playing side
Sticker
Sticky paste
Do not attach paper or tape to either the playing side or the label side of the discs.
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 player and store it in its case.
Discs which can be played with this unit
CD (12 cm, 8 cm), and the audio part of CDV, CD-G, CD-EG and CD-EXTRA. Use discs that comply with the IEC standard, for example a disc carrying the
COMPACT
marking on the label surface.
DIGITAL AUDIO
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. Please do not use discs which are not round because they may cause a malfunction.
Disc accessories
The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protection ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound quality or pro­tecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should not be used with this system because they may cause malfunction.

Notes
Notes
2.Endless tapes
Since tapes that are longer than 100 minutes are 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.
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of the unit.
Apply tape only to the position where the tab has been removed.
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.

While the unit is in the standby mode, it can be turned ON from the remote control unit. This unit has been designed to minimize power con­sumption.
