NOTES ON DISCS

■Handling of discs

Heed the following notes on handling of discs not to create any cause for a recording failure, a loss of the recorded data, or a malfunction of this unit.

•This compact disc recorder is designed for use with CDs (including 8cm [3”] discs) bearing the following marks only. Never attempt to load any other type of disc into this unit.

•CDs are not subjected to wear during play. However if the disc is handled improperly, damage may be created on the disc to adversely affect the disc’s play.

•When writing on the label side of CD-R or CD-RW discs, use an oil-based felt-tipped pen.

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

•Although playback of CDs is generally not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, dust, fingerprints, small scratches and direct sunlight on the recording surface of a CD-R or CD-RW disc may make recording impos- sible. Therefore, for optimal performance of the recorder and for long-term enjoyment of your CD collection, handle discs correctly as outlined in the following guidelines.

1.Hold discs by touching only the edges or center hole. When setting/removing a disc to/from the disc tray, be careful not to damage the disc surface.

2.When a disc is not currently being used, remove it from the recorder and store in an appropriate case.

3.With proper disc maintenance, cleaning should not be necessary. However, should cleaning be required, 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, antistatic 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 this might warp or otherwise damage the disc.

No!

■To prevent a malfunction of this unit

•Do not use any non-standard shaped CDs (heart, flower shaped, etc.) available on the market, because they are off-balance in their weight.

If a non-standard shaped CD is loaded into this unit, it may create problems such as improper playback, opening the disc tray, creating an usual noise, and this unit’s failure.

•Be sure to use a felt-tip pen or similar writing tool when writing on the label side of the disc. Do not use a ball-point pen, pencil, or other hard-tipped writing tool, as these may damage the disc and may adversely affect further recording on the disc.

•Do not use the discs with glue left on their surface. It may get stuck in this unit or create damage to this unit.

•When using an 8cm (3”) disc, do not place a normal 12cm (5”) disc on top of it.

•Do not use the discs printed with commercially available label printers.
