CD PREVENTIVE CARES

• This compact disc player is designed only for playing
back compact discs bearing the marks shown below.
Never attempt to load any other type of disc into the unit.
The unit can also play back 8 cm (3 inch) compact discs.

Notes

•This unit may not be able to play back some CD-R/CD-RW

discs or discs on which recording was not made correctly.

•This unit is not compatible with a CD-R/CD-RW disc

recorded with MP3 or WMA format.

• Compact discs are not subjected to wear during
playback, but damage to the disc surface when the disc is
being handled can adversely affect the disc playback.

• Do not use cleaning discs or warped discs. All of these
could damage the unit.

To prevent a malfunction of this unit

• Do not use any non standard shaped CD (heart, etc.)
available on the market, because it may damage the unit.

• Compact discs are not affected by small particles of dust
or fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they
should be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth.
Do not wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight
outward from the center.

• Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type
of disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid,
or any other chemical-based liquid, because such
substances might irreparably damage the disc’s surface.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature
or high humidity for a long period of time, because these
might warp or otherwise damage the disc.

No!

• Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it, because
damage to the unit may result.

■ Battery replacement

If you find that the remote control transmitter must be used
closer to the main unit, the batteries are weak. Replace both
batteries with new ones.

Notes

• Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.

• Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside
the battery compartment.)

• Remove the batteries if the remote control transmitter will not
be used for an extended period of time.

• If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid
touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with
clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly
before installing new batteries.

Notes

•There should be no large obstacles between the remote
control transmitter and the main unit.

• If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong
lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, etc.),
it might cause the remote control transmitter not to work
correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct
lighting.
