•Do not stick papers 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 CD recorder will damage its mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.

•Do not use irregular shape CDs (octagonal, heart-shape, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the CD recorder.

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

Condensation

When the CD recorder (or a disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible.

To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the CD recorder for one or two hours with the power turned on. Then the CD recorder will stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.
