HANDLINGCOMPACTDISCS

Dirt, dust, scratches, and warpage can cause skips in the playback and deterioration of sound quality. Please follow these guidelines to take care of your compact discs:

lUse only compact discs with the mark:

lFingerprints, dust, and dirt should be carefully wiped off the disc’s playing surface (shiny side) with a soft cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc.

lNever use chemicals such as record sprays, household cleaners or thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.

lDiscs should be kept in their storage cases when not in use.

lDo not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity for extended periods.

lDo not stick paper, tape, or labels on the disc surfaces nor write on them with any type of marker.

NOTES ON DISCS:

Attempting to use non-standard shape discs (e.g.; square, star, heart) may damage the unit. Be sure to use round-shape CDs only in this unit.

NOTES ON CD-Rs (Recordable CDs)/CD-RWs (Rewriteable CDs):

1.Be sure to use discs with the following marks only for play in this unit:

2.The unit cannot play a CD-R or CD-RW that is not finalized. (Please refer to the manual of your CD-R/CD-RW software for more information on the finalization process.)

3.Depending on the recording status, conditions of the disc and the equipment used for the recording, some CD-Rs/CD-RWs may not be played on this unit.

RELIABLE PLAYBACK:

To ensure more reliable playback, please note the following recom- mendations:

1.Use CD-RWs with speed 1x to 4x.

2.Use CD-Rs with speed 1x to 8x, and write with speed 1x to 2x.

3.Do not play a CD-RW which has been written on more than 5 times.

NOTES ON MULTI-SESSION DISCS:

1.If the first track of the first session is audio CD data, then the unit will play only the audio CD data.

2.When the first track of the first session is not audio CD data, but an MP3 file is included on the disc, then only the MP3 files will be played back and other data (including CD data) is skipped.

ELECTRONIC SKIP PROTECTION (ESP)

The CD Player in this unit is equipped with Electronic Skip Protection (ESP) circuits. This capability enables the CD Player to project disc play approximately 10 seconds ahead of its current play position. As a result, if a severe road bump is encountered during Player operation, play of the current track will not be interrupted, or result in a skip.
