Be sure to use the correct formatting for the discs used. For details, consult the application author. ¶ This unit cannot play partially recorded CD-R or CD-RW discs that have not been finalized. ¶ For detailed information regarding the handling of CD-R/CD- RW discs, consult the handling precautions supplied with each disc. I Regarding CD-R/RW discs Due to the unique construction of CD-R/RW discs, leaving them for extended periods of time in the pause (or cue standby) mode at a single point may result in the discs ’ becoming difficult to play at that place. The same symptom may also occur if the loop function is used to play back a single point on the disc exces- sively. As a result, users are advised to construct backup archive discs when playing discs containing important data.

Handling discs I When holding discs, do not touch their signal surfaces. Hold by the edges, or by one edge and the center hole. Discs Usable with This Unit (Handling discs) I Do not affix gummed labels or tape to the disc surface. Also, do not scratch or damage the label. I Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do not use dam- aged, cracked or warped discs. I Do not play a disc with a special shape ¶ Do not play a disc having other shape than a circular disc, such as heart shaped disc. Otherwise malfunction may occur. I Storing discs ¶ Discs are made of the same kinds of plastic used for con- ventional analog audio records. Be careful not to allow discs to warp. Always store discs in their cases vertically, avoiding locations with high heat, humidity, or extremely low tem- peratures. Avoid leaving discs in cars; the interior of a car in direct sunlight can become extremely hot. ¶ Always read and abide by the precautionary notes listed on disc labels. I Cleaning discs ¶ Always keep your discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the outer edge. ¶ When cleaning discs, the use of a commercial CD cleaning kit is recommended. ¶ If a disc becomes very dirty, dampen a soft cloth with water, (be sure to wring it out well) and wipe the away dirt gently. Remove any water drops with another soft, dry cloth. ¶ Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs. Never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile sol- vents or damage to the disc surface may result. 7
