Disc handling precautions

Handling

Hold compact discs so that you do not touch the playing surface.

Sticker

Label side

Playing side

Sticky paste

÷ Do not attach paper or tape to either the playing side or the label side of compact discs.

÷

The paste left on the label surface after a sticker has been peeled off is a factor which may cause malfunction. If the surface is sticky due to remaining paste, be sure to clean it with alcohole before use.

Caution on disc used

Discs which can be played with this unit

Cleaning

If fingerprints or foreign matter become attached to the disc, lightly wipe the disc with a soft cotton cloth (or similar) from the center of the disc outwards, in a radial manner.

Storage

When a disc is not to be played for a long period of time, remove it from the

CD player and store it in its case.

Never play a cracked or warped disc.

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player.

Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a cracked or deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.

Do not use cleaning discs.

Please do not use commercially available cleaning discs, they may damage the internal mechanism.

CD (12 cm, 8 cm), CDV (only the audio part)

÷ With CD-G (CD Graphics) discs, this unit can play only the audio.

Notes on cassette tape

Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)

After an important recording has been finished, break the safety tab, to prevent the recorded contents from being erased or recorded on accidentally.

To store cassette tapes

Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to direct sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat. Keep the cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.

N

S

For B side

For A side

When there is slack in the tape

In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind the reel hub to remove the slack.

To re-record Apply tape only to the position where the tab has been removed.

1. Longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape

Since longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape is very thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be easily cut. It is recommended that these tapes not be used with this unit to prevent possible damage.

2. Endless tapes

Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of the unit.
