Use high−quality cassettes: D Bumpy roads or other vibrations may make your compact disc player skip. D Low−quality cassette tapes can cause many problems, including poor sound, inconsistent playing speed, and constant auto−reversing. They can also get stuck or tangled in the cassette player. D If moisture gets into your compact disc player, you may not hear any sound even though your compact disc player appears to be working. Remove the disc from the player and wait until it dries. D Do not use a cassette if it has been damaged or tangled or if its label is peeling off. CAUTION Compact disc players use an invisible laser beam which could cause hazardous radiation exposure if directed outside the unit. Be sure to operate the player correctly. D Do not leave a cassette in the player if you are not listening to it, especially if it is hot outside. D Store cassettes in their cases and out of direct sunlight. D Use only compact discs marked as shown above. The following products may not be playable on your compact disc player. Copy−protected CD CD−R (CD−Recordable) CD−RW (CD−Re−writable) CD−ROM D Avoid using cassettes with a total playing time longer than 100 minutes (50 minutes per side).
