Notes on usable CDs
Notes on discs

Never use heart-shaped, octagonal, or other special shaped discs as they may damage the internal mechanisms of the CDR-201A.

Do not play CD-ROMs intended for computer use or non-audio compact discs. Doing so may cause high- pitched noises or other unpredictable results that may damage speakers, amplifiers, and other connected components.

Handling discs

Be careful not to touch the data side of the disc (the side that does not have printing on it). Always hold discs by the edges or by using the hole in the middle.

Label side

Data side

Never place labels or stickers on the data side or label side of the discs. Also, do not write on the discs or allow them to become scratched.

Cautions when using rented compact discs

Do not use discs that have cellophane tape attached to them or rental compact discs that have rental labels attached. If the tape is sticking out or peeling off, the disc may not be able to be ejected and the CDR-201A may become damaged.

Do not use 8-cm CD adapters.

Cleaning

Dirt and contaminants on discs can obstruct the pickup of the signals and lead to deterioration the sound. When dirty, clean the data side with a soft dry cloth, wiping from the inside of the disc toward the outside.

If the dirt is excessive, soak the cloth in water, wring it out, and then wipe the disc surface clean. Next, using a soft dry cloth, wipe the moisture from the disc surface.

Do not use conventional record cleaners or antistatic agents. Also, never use benzene, thinners, or other volatile agents as they may damage the disc surface.

Cautions for disc storage

Do not store discs in locations exposed to direct sunlight, near heat emitting devices, and other locations of excessive heat, or locations of extremely low temperatures. Also, always store discs properly in their protective cases.

Condensation

When moving the CDR-201A from a cold

location to a hot location, when quickly heating a

cold location with a furnace, or other similar

situation, condensation may occur. This may not

only cause improper operation of the device, but

may also damage the discs and components.

If condensation has occurred, turn on the CDR-

201A and leave it running for 1 to 2 hours. If you

will not use the CDR-201A, then eject any disc

inside.
