1 − Introduction • 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, etc. discs. • Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection system, have been released from 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. • If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R and CD-RW discs, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly. About CD-R and CD-RW discs CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded. However, if space is available on the disc, additional material can be recorded. By finalizing a CD-R that you have finished using for recording, you can make it playable by most ordinary CD players. (Some CD players might not be able to play back CD-R discs even if they are finalized.) CD-RW discs allow recorded tracks to be erased to make space available again, allowing disc reuse. However, tracks can only be erased in the order from the last added. To erase a track in the middle, you must erase all the tracks added after it at the same time. Finalized CD-RW discs can only be played back in CD players that support CD-RW disc playback. Slot loading of discs 1 As shown in the illustration, hold the disc with the labeled side up and insert it part way into the slot. 2 After you push the disc a little further, it will be pulled in automatically just before it disappears into the slot. Trouble inserting a disc If the disc becomes stuck during insertion, for example, and is difficult to push, do not try to force the disc in. Pull the disc out once and press the EJECT button and then try inserting it again. (Trying to force the disc in could damage the unit.)
