4 – DP-02 Appendix

Handling of compact discs

The CD-RW901SL 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 addition to ordinary 5-inch and 3-inch CDs, it can also play properly recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs.

•Always insert the compact discs into the unit 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 cases when not being played. To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge.

•Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface. 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, and places of high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warping 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 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.

•Do not use cracked discs.

•Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circu- lar promotional, etc. discs.

•The DP-02 cannot play unfinalized CD-R/RW discs.

•Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection system, have been released from several record compa- nies in an attempt to protect the copyright. Since some of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they may not be playable on the DP-02.

Never use a stabilizer or printable discs

Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable recordable discs with this player will damage the mechanism 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 stick to the turntable of the DP-02. If it sticks to the turntable, you will need a technician to get it out.
