Look for these marks to distinguish CD-Rs/
CD-RWs for audio use .
These marks denote that a disc is not for audio
use.
• Do not use any discs with labels or st ickers
attached.
The following malfunctions may result from
using such discs:
– Inability to eject a d is c (due to a label or
sticker peeling off and jamming the eject
mechanism).
– Inability to read audio data correctly (e.g.,
playback skippi ng, or no playback) d ue t o
heat shrinking of a sticker or label caus ing a
disc to warp.
• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart,
square, star) ca nnot be played on this unit.
Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do
not use such discs.
• You cannot play 8 c m C D s.
