Rough Edges

Flakes

Recorded surface

•You may notice that some brand new discs are rough around the center hole or outside edge.

Remove the rough edges with the side of a ballpoint pen, etc. Rough edges may prevent proper loading in the unit. Flakes from the rough edges may also stick to the recorded surface and interfere with playback.

•Do not use accessories

(stabilizers, protective seals, laser lens cleaners, etc.) sold for "improving sound performance" or "protecting CDs." The changes in CD thickness or outside dimensions made by these accessories may cause problems in the player.

•Please be sure NOT to attach any ring-shape protector (or other accessory) to your discs. Those protectors are commercially available and said to protect disc and to improve sound quality (and antivibration effect), but they can do more harm than good in regular uses. The most common problems are insert/Eject related problems and "No playback" problems due to the protector ring that come off in the disc mechanism.

•Specially-shaped or octagonal CDs, like heart-shaped cannot be played. Do not attempt to play them, even with an adapter, since they may damage the player.

•The unit can play 8 cm CDs without the need for an adapter.

•Do not play back 8 cm CDs with a single adapter attached, as malfunctions may occur if such discs are used.
