Teac CR-H227I owner manual MP3 and Windows Media-formatted audio files

<CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.

<Printable discs aren’t recommended, as the label side might be sticky and damage the unit.

<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 unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.

<Do not use irregular shape discs (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). Discs of this sort can damage the unit:

<If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
