BASIC OPERATIONS

1. LOADING/EJECTING DISCS

The Pro-Scratch 2™ can only play regular 5 inch CDs. 3 inch, odd shaped, and oval CDs are not compatible. When loading a CD into the player always hold the disc by it edge (see Figure 7). Load the disc label side up and slide it in the disc slot. Never touch the signal surface (the glossy side). To remove a disc from the slot press the EJECT BUTTON (18), see Figure 8.

CAUTION:

NEVER attempt to insert any other objects beside 5" CD in the disc slot.

NEVER attempt to insert more than one disc at a time. Doing so may result in sever damage to your unit.

DO NOT force a disc into the slot when the power is off, this may damage the drive system.
