• Never play a compact disc with any cellophane tape or other glue on it or with peeling off marks. If you try to play such a compact disc, you may not be able to get it back out of the CD player or it may damage the CD player.

• Do not use compact discs that have large scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of such discs may cause misoperation or damage.

• To remove a compact disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

• Do not use commercially available CD protection sheets or discs equipped with stabilizers, etc.

These may damage the disc or cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.

Storage

• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight or any heat source.

• Do not expose compact discs to excess humidity or dust.

• Do not expose compact discs to direct heat from heaters.

Cleaning

• To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center of the compact disc to the circumference.

• Do not use any solvents, such as commercially available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to clean compact discs.

• After using special compact disc cleaner, let the compact disc dry off well before playing it.

!

WARNING

About a Single CD (8cm CD)

• Since the unit is not compatible with a single CD, do not load it into the unit.

• Keep in mind the fact that a single CD cannot be played even using a single CD adaptor for the unit.

• If you try to push it into the unit forcibly without removing it, the CD cannot be ejected. This will result in damage to the mechanism. Please never do this.
