About discs In addition to commercially-available music CDs, this unit can play CD-R discs that have been recorded in audio CD (CD-DA) format, as well as CD-R discs that have MP3 audio and WAV audio files recorded on them. Handling of compact discs •• Always insert the compact discs in the slot with their label facing upward. •• To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges. •• Do not touch the signal side (the unlabeled side). Fingerprints, oils and other substances can cause errors during playback. •• To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge. Dirt on discs can lower the sound quality, so clean them and always store them in a clean state. •• Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause CDs to become unplayable. •• Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use discs that have had tape, stickers or other materials applied to their surface. Do not use discs that have sticky residue from stickers, etc. Such discs could become stuck in the unit or cause it to malfunction. •• Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer. Using stabilizers with this player will damage the mechanism and cause it to malfunction. •• Do not use cracked discs. •• Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non- circular promotional discs, etc. •• Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection system, have been released form several record companies in an attempt to protect the copyright. Since some of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they may not be playable on the unit. 1 - Introduction TASCAM CD-6010 9
