CD Preventive Care

GETTING

•This compact disc recorder is designed for use with

compact discs bearing the,,, ormarks only. Never attempt to load any other type of disc into this unit.

This unit will also play 8-cm (3-inch) compact discs.

•Compact discs are not subjected to wear during play, but damage to the disc surface when the disc is being handled can adversely affect the disc’s play.

•Do not use cleaning discs or warped discs. All of these could damage the unit.

■To prevent a malfunction of this unit

•Do not use any non-standard shaped CDs (heart, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage this unit.

•Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it, because damage to this unit may result.

•Be sure to use a felt-tip pen or similar writing tool when writing on the label side of the disc. Do not use a ball- point pen, pencil, or other hard-tipped writing tool, as these may damage the disc and may aversely affect further recording on the disc.

•Although playback of compact discs is generally not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, dust, fingerprints, small scratches and direct sunlight on the recording surface of a CD-R or CD-RW disc may make recording impossible. Therefore, for optimal performance of the recorder and for long- term enjoyment of your CD collection, handle discs correctly as outlined in the following guidelines.

•Hold discs by touching only the edges or center hole.

•When a disc is not currently being used, remove it from the recorder and store in an appropriate case.

•With proper disc maintenance, cleaning should not be necessary. However, should cleaning be required, wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center.

•Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of disc cleaner, record spray, antistatic spray or liquid, or any other chemical-based liquid, because such substances might irreparably damage the disc’s surface.

•Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature, or high humidity for a long period of time, because these might warp or otherwise damage the disc.
