CAUTION:

<Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing mechanisms.

<Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not 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 ( o c t a g o n a l , h e a r t s h a p e d , business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit.

Maintenance

<If the disc becomes dirty, wipe the surface radially from the center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft and dry cloth.

<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 discÕs plastic surface.

Storage precautions

<Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to Òskip.Ó

<Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high - temperature a n d h u m i d i t y f o r e x t e n d e d p e r i o d s . L o n g e x p o s u r e t o h i g h temperatures will warp the disc.

<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 away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat- generating electrical devices.

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