• Do not use any discs with labels or stickers attached. The following ma lfuncti ons may resu lt from usin g such discs: – Inability to eject a disc (due to a label or sticker

peeling off and jammi ng the eject mechanism).

– Inability to read audio data correctly (e.g.,

playback skippin g, or no playback) due to heat shrinking o f a sticker or labe l causing a disc to warp.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on th is uni t. Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.

• You cannot play 8 cm CDs.
