CD-RW

•Always insert the disc into the slot with the label side toward you. (Compact discs can be played or recorded only on one side.)

•To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

•Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the non- label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping.

•Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially (from the center hole outward towards the outer edge) with a soft, dry cloth:

•Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”

•Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.

•Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the disc. Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining from tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.

•Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanism and cause them to malfunction.

•Do not use cracked discs.

•Do not use CDs with an irregular shape (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit:

•Copy-protected discs and other discs which do not conform to the CD standard may not play back correctly in this player. If you use such discs in this unit, TEAC Corporation and its subsidiaries cannot be responsible for any consequences or guarantee the quality of repro- duction. If you experience problems with such non-stan- dard discs, you should contact the producers of the disc.

About CD-R and CD-RW discs

CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or re- recorded. However, if space is available on the disc (and the disc has not been finalized), additional material can be recorded.

By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded can be erased, and the space on the disc can be re-used for other recordings.

However, you should note that an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD player.

CD-R, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio CD players.

Inserting a disc into the slot-loading drive

1.Insert a disc halfway into the slot by holding the disc edge and facing the label side front, as illustrated.

2.Push the disc into the slot until the disc is automati- cally brought in.

When a disc is not loaded properly

When a disc is not loaded properly, draw out the disc and

press the øEJECT key, then try to load it again. DO NOT push the disc in forcedly. It may damage the unit and the disc.
