About CD-R/CD-RW

CD-R/RW discs recorded in the Audio CD format and finalized correctly are playable. Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the recording, some CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable.

<If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)

<Unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW discs cannot be played.

WARNING:

If you attempt to play back such discs, there is a risk that a sudden loud noise may be heard over the speakers at full volume and cause damage to the speakers and possibly to your hearing.

Copy-protected discs, DualDiscs and other discs that do not conform to the CD standard may not play back correctly in this player. If you use such discs in this unit, ESOTERIC COMPANY cannot be responsible for any consequences or guarantee the quality of reproduction. If you experience problems with such non-standard discs, you should contact the producers of the disc.

CAUTION:

<Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playback mechanisms.

<Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recommended, as the label side might be sticky and damage the unit. This also includes PC produced discs where a stick on label has been used.

<Do not stick papers, stability pads or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating spray.

<Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.

<Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.

<Do not use irregular shape discs (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit.

Handling precautions

<Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side uppermost. Compact discs can be played or recorded only on one side.

<To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

How to remove the disc How to hold the disc

Maintenance

<If the disc becomes dirty, wipe the surface radially from the center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft and dry cloth.

<Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.

Storage precautions

<Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”

<Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high-temperature and humidity for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc.

<CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat- generating electrical devices.

If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R or CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer.
