DISC HANDLING
Use only discs with regular shapes. If an irregular disc (a disc with a special shape) is used the
ERC-1 may be damaged.
Discs usable with the ERC-1
CD Audio (CD-DA), CD-R, CD-RW, HDCD
Holding discs
Avoid touching the surface of a disc where recording is performed.
Loading discs
Hold the CD by the edges loosely and gently slide the CD into the slot-loading
system. Wait for the ERC-1 to grab the disc, there will be a short delay while
the player grabs the disc. Release the disc into the ERC-1.
Cautions on loading discs
• Do not force the disc into the slot-loading system or it may be damaged.
• Make sure the CD label is facing up. Do not put the CD into the player upside
down or the disc may get stuck and the ERC-1 may be damaged.
Cautions on handling discs
• Do not write on the printed side with a ball-point pen or pencil
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic. Also, do not use volatile
chemicals, such as benzene or thinner.
• Do not apply labels or stickers to discs. (Do not use discs fixed with exposed tape
adhesive or leftover peeled off stickers.
• Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.
• Do not use discs printed with label printers available on the market.
• Do not load warped or cracked discs
Disc Storage
Be careful not to damage the disc as the data is highly susceptible to the environment
• Do not put in direct sunlight.
• Keep in a cool ventilated area.
• Store vertically
• Keep in a clean protective case.
• If you move the ERC-1 from a cold place to a warm place, condensation may
collect on the inside parts and cause abnormal disc play. If this happens, wait for
at least two hours before connecting the ERC-1 to a power outlet.
