uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and
cart combination to overturn.
10. Ventilation – Slots and openings in the
cabinet are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the appliance and
to protect it from overheating, and these
openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing
the appliance on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. The appliance should not be
placed in a builtin installation such as a
bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided. There should be free space of at
least 5 cm (2 in.) and an opening behind the
appliance.
11. Power Sources – The appliance should be
operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your home, consult
your appliance dealer or local power company.
12. Grounding or Polarization – The appliance
may be equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into
the power outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug

extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.
16. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push
objects of any kind into the appliance through
openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short-out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the appliance.
17. Servicing – Do not attempt to service the
appliance yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage
or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
18. Damage Requiring Service – Unplug the
appliance form the wall outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
A. When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged,
B. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into the appliance,
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or
water,
D. If the appliance does not operate normally
by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered
by the operating instructions as an
improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the appliance to its normal
operation,
E. If the appliance has been dropped or
damaged in any way, and
F. When the appliance exhibits a distinct
change in performance – this indicates a
need for service.
19. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts
are required, be sure the service technician has
used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics
as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
20. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service
or repairs to the appliance, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine
that the appliance is in proper operation condition.
21. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The appliance
should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
22. Heat – The appliance should be situated away
from heat sources such as radiators, heat

compact discs with the following marks printing on
them:
*2*1
FOR CONSUMER
FOR CONSUMER USE
FOR MUSIC USE ONLY
(A disc with any of the above markings.)
Recording cannot be performed on discs that do not
have one of the above markings.
Copyright fees have been enacted by copyright laws,
and these fees are included in the price of CD-R*
and CD-RW*2 discs, as well as discs labeled with
"FOR CONSUMER," "FOR CONSUMER USE," and
"FOR MUSIC USE ONLY." Therefore, the recording
of music protected by copyright laws with these
discs is permitted for personal use. However, copying
for purposes other than personal use requires the
permission of the copyright holder.

Always use compact discs with the following mark
(optical digital audio discs):
Cautions regarding copyrights
The lyrics and melodies composing the musical
elements of media and musical performances from
radio broadcasts, compact discs, records, music
tapes, original cassettes, and other media are
protected equally by copyright law. Therefore, the
sale, transition, distribution, and re-release in mediaform, or use as background music in stores and the
like, is strictly forbidden without the previous express
consent from the copyright holder.
CD-R finalization process
After recording onto a CD-R disc, it is necessary to
perform the finalization process before the CD-R
can be played in CD players. After the finalization
process is completed, you cannot perform
additional recordings.
CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs
CD-RW discs cannot be played in normal CD
players even after finalization. CD-RW discs can
only be played on players compatible with CD-RW
discs. Also, with CD-RW discs, recording can be
erased even after finalization.
Before using
CD TEXT
CD TEXT is a feature added to audio CDs that
provides the ability to deliver text information
(alphabetic letters, symbols, and numbers) such as
disc titles, artist names, track titles, etc. Commercial
audio CDs that contain this text information bear the
following mark.

Notes on usable CDs
Notes on discs
Never use heart-shaped, octagonal, or other special
shaped discs as they may damage the internal
mechanisms of the CDR-201A.
Do not play CD-ROMs intended for computer use or
non-audio compact discs. Doing so may cause highpitched noises or other unpredictable results that
may damage speakers, amplifiers, and other
connected components.
■ Handling discs
Be careful not to touch the data side of the disc (the
side that does not have printing on it). Always hold
discs by the edges or by using the hole in the middle.
Label side
Data side
Never place labels or stickers on the data side or
label side of the discs. Also, do not write on the discs
or allow them to become scratched.
■ Cleaning
Dirt and contaminants on discs can obstruct the
pickup of the signals and lead to deterioration the
sound. When dirty, clean the data side with a soft
dry cloth, wiping from the inside of the disc toward
the outside.
If the dirt is excessive, soak the cloth in water, wring
it out, and then wipe the disc surface clean. Next,
using a soft dry cloth, wipe the moisture from the
disc surface.
Do not use conventional record cleaners or antistatic
agents. Also, never use benzene, thinners, or other
volatile agents as they may damage the disc surface.
■ Cautions for disc storage
Do not store discs in locations exposed to direct
sunlight, near heat emitting devices, and other
locations of excessive heat, or locations of extremely
low temperatures. Also, always store discs properly
in their protective cases.
■ Cautions when using rented compact
discs
Do not use discs that have cellophane tape attached
to them or rental compact discs that have rental
labels attached. If the tape is sticking out or peeling
off, the disc may not be able to be ejected and the
CDR-201A may become damaged.
■ Do not use 8-cm CD adapters.

Condensation
When moving the CDR-201A from a cold
location to a hot location, when quickly heating a
cold location with a furnace, or other similar
situation, condensation may occur. This may not
only cause improper operation of the device, but
may also damage the discs and components.
If condensation has occurred, turn on the CDR201A and leave it running for 1 to 2 hours. If you
will not use the CDR-201A, then eject any disc
inside.
