8 TASCAM CD-RW900SL

Never use a stabilizer or printable discs

Using commercially available CD stabilizers or print able
recordable discs with this player will damage the me cha-
nism and cause it to malfunction.
NOTE
Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to
it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to s tick
to the turntable of the CD-RW90 0SL. If it sticks to the
turntable, you will need a technician to get it o ut.
The CD-RW900SL has been designed for the playback
of CD-DA (standard audio) format discs and MP3 files
recorded on the discs using the ISO9660 format: In ad di
-
tion to ordinary 5-inch and 3-inch CDs, it ca n also play
properly recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs.
Always insert the compact discs into the u nit with their
label facing upward.
To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center
of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it care
-
fully by the edges.
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the
non-label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping, so
keep discs clean and store them in their case s when not
being played. To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe
gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards t he
outside edge.
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions,
benzene, paint thinner or othe r chemical agents to clean
CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surfa ce.
It may cause CDs to become unplayable.

Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid
serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”
Keep discs away from direct sunlight, a nd places of
high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warpi ng
could result.
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the
disc. Do not write on the disc with a ballpoint pen.
Do not insert discs that have adhesive remain ing from
tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are
inserted into the player, they could stick to the inte rnal
mechanism, requiring removal by a tech nician.
Do not use cracked discs.
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circu
-
lar promotional, etc. discs.
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection
system, have been released from several record compa
-
nies in an attempt to protect the copyr ight. Since some
of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications,
they may not be playable on the CD-RW900SL.
