Storage precautions

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

<Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high- temperature and humidity for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp discs.

<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 locations where they will be exposed to direct sunlight. They should also be kept away from sources of heat, such as radiators and heat-generating electrical devices.

Maintenance

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

<Never clean discs using chemicals such as record sprays, antistatic sprays and fluids, benzene and thinner. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.

Cautions when preparing MP3/WMA files using a computer or other device

<Always include the extension in the file name. This unit recognizes MP3 files by their “.mp3”, and WMA files by their “.wma” file extensions.

<Always close the session (complete disc creation). This unit cannot play discs if the session has not been closed.

<Carefully read the manual for the software that you are using when you create an MP3/WMA disc.

Files that are unplayable or only partially playable

<Files without extensions cannot be played. Files that are not in the MP3/WMA format cannot be played even if they have extensions.

<Variable bit rate files might not play back correctly.

<If the disc/USB storage device contains more than 99 files or 99 folders, this unit can not play it back correctly.
