Notes on CD and the internal hard disk drive

Notes on discs

Notes on playing discs

Use the discs compatible with IEC standards such as the CD with the logo (right) printed on it. You can also use the CD-ROM containing MP3 audio data.

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.

Never use heart-shaped, octagonal, or other special shaped discs as they may damage the internal mechanisms of the MB-S1.

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.

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.

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.

Note on the internal hard disc drive

Do not shake or carry around the MB-S1 while playing the tracks recorded on the hard disc drive. Doing so may damage the internal hard disk drive.

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 MB-S1 may become damaged.

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 form 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.

Condensation

When moving the MB-S1 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 MB-S1 and leave it running for 1 to 2 hours. If you will not use the MB-S1, then eject any disc inside.
