NOTES ABOUT THE DISCS
* Handle the discs carefully so as not to
scratch their surfaces.
* Keep the surfaces of the discs clean at all
times.
When cleaning the surfaces of discs, always
be sure to use the special cleaner and wipe the
surfaces in the directions shown in the figure
below.
• Wipe the surface
radially from the
center.
• Do not wipe the
surface in the
circumferential
direction.
* Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to
the label surfaces of the discs.
When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental
CD label with paste protruding from the edge or
when a disc still bears traces of sticky tape or
adhesive labels, do not attempt to play it. If such
a disc is played on the CD player, you may find
that you cannot remove it or that some other kind
of malfunctioning may occur.
* Do not use discs which come in special
shapes.
Do not attempt to play heart-shaped or octagonal
discs or discs with any other special shapes. You
may find that you cannot remove them or that
some other kind of malfunctioning may occur in
the player.
* Use discs which satisfy the CD standards
such as those with the “CD logo”, “ ” or
“TEXT ” mark on their disc label surfaces.
No guarantees are made for playback if discs
which do not satisfy the appropriate CD
standards are used.
Similarly, no guarantees are made for their
sound quality even if it is possible to play such
discs.
* To protect your discs from damage, avoid
placing them in the following locations.
• Where they will be exposed to direct sunlight
or where they will be close to a heater or other
heat-radiating appliance
• Where the humidity level is high or it is very
dusty
• Near a window or other such location where
they may be exposed to rain
* Get into the habit of putting the discs back in
their cases after use.
ABOUT PLAYING COPY-
CONTROLLED CDS
Some copy-controlled CDs may not conform to
official CD standards. They are special discs and
may not play on the unit.
BEFORE USING
PRECAUTIONS
• In winter, droplets of water form on the insides
of the windows of a heated room: this is called
condensation. This CD player uses an optical
lens, so the condensation may form in the
following cases.
- In a room immediately after the heating has
been turned on
- In a room where the humidity level is high
- When the player has been suddenly brought
from a cold location into a warm room
Since, in cases like this, the track numbers may
not be read and the player is prevented from
operating properly, wait about 30 minutes, and
then operate the player.
• This player may cause interference on a tuner or
TV set. If this is the case, place it further away
from the tuner or TV set.
• Compact discs have much less noise than
analog records and hardly any noise is heard
before play starts. Bear in mind, therefore,
that if the volume control on the amplifier is set
too high, you will risk damaging other audio
components.
• This audio player is for the exclusive playing
of Audio CDs (Compact Discs) and MP3/WMA
compressed data files.
It cannot play CD-ROMs used with personal
computers, game CDs, video CDs, DVDs (video/
audio) or DTS-CDs.
• We do not recommend the use of lens cleaners.
