Precautions Discs that this unit CAN play ˎˎAudio CD (CD-DA*1 tracks) ˎˎCD-R/CD-RW that contains MP3/WMA files and is finalized*2 correctly. *1 CD-DA is the abbreviation for Compact Disc Digital Audio. It is a recording standard used for audio CDs. *2 Finalizing is the process to make the CD-R/CD-RW discs playable on the consumer disc player products, and the finalizing can be enabled or disabled as optional settings during disc creation in most recording software. Discs that this unit CANNOT play ˎˎCD-R/CD-RW other than those recorded in audio CD format or formats conforming to ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2 or Joliet ˎˎCD-R/CD-RW of poor recording quality, CD-R/ CD-RW with scratches or that is dirty, or CD-R/ CD-RW recorded using an incompatible recording device ˎˎCD-R/CD-RW that is unfinalized or finalized incorrectly Notes on discs ˎˎBefore playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the center out. If there are scratches, dirt or fingerprints on the CD, a tracking error may occur. ˎˎDo not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs. ˎˎDo not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car. ˎˎDo not stick paper or a sticker on the CD, or scratch the surface of the CD. ˎˎAfter playing, store the CD in its case. Note on DualDiscs ˎˎA DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed. Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies ˎˎThis product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product.
