■Listening to Songs on CDs

Cautions

Handling CDs

•Do not leave discs exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.

•Handle CDs with your finger and thumb, holding the disc by the center hole and outer rim. Do not touch or scratch the disc’s recording surface (the green side).

•Do not drop or stack discs.

•Do not place heavy objects on discs or subject them to strong impact.

•Do not affix stickers or other such materials on the label side. Placing stickers on the disc may result in errors when data writing and scratch the disc.

•Use a felt-tip marker or other soft-tipped implement to write titles and other information on the label side of discs.

•Store discs in their original cases or other suitable cases for protection.

•Before using the CD, please read the warning on the CD cover.

Cleaning Discs

•If a disc becomes dusty or soiled, gently wipe the disc with a soft cloth. Always wipe outwards from the center using light, gentle strokes. Do not wipe the disk in a circular pattern.

Precautions Concerning Use of the CD

•CD-R/RW discs to which audio tracks have been added, and CDs with mixed audio tracks and data will not play back properly.

•The RG-7 is capable of playing back only commercial CDs that conform the official standards-those that carry the “COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO” logo. The usability and sound quality of audio discs that incorporate copyright protection technology and other non-standard CDs cannot be guaranteed.

•For more detailed information on audio discs featuring copyright protection technology and other non-standard CDs, please consult the disc vendor.

•You cannot save songs and styles to CDs, and you cannot delete songs or styles recorded to CDs. Furthermore, you cannot format CDs.

•The prescribed format for CD-R/RW discs is “ISO9660 Level 1 Mode 1.”

•You may be unable to read using other formats.
