Discs ENGLISH Discs that can be played by this unit Precautions for use CDs (12-cm and 8-cm) that bear the "COMPACT disc DIGITAL AUDIO" logo can be played by this unit. < The logo should be on the disc label or the CD jacket. CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been correctly recorded in the audio CD format and finalized, as well as finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs that contain MP3 files, can be played by this unit. This unit can play these types of discs without an adapter. It cannot play any other type of disc. Playback of any other type of disc could cause loud noise and damage to speakers as well as harm hearing. Never try to play any other type of disc. < Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged. Playing such discs could cause irreparable harm to the playing mechanisms. < Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recommended because their label sides could be sticky and damage the unit. < Do not stick paper or protective sheets on discs and do not use any protective coating sprays. < Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially-available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction. < Do not use irregularly-shaped discs (octagonal, heart-shaped, business card size, etc.). Such CDs could damage the unit. < Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the recording, some discs might not be playable. < Video CDs, CD-ROMs and similar types of discs can be read by the unit, but they will make no sound when played back. Handling precautions < Super Audio CDs cannot be read or played back by this unit. < Video and audio DVDs, DVD-ROMs and other types of DVDs cannot be read or played back by this unit. ATTENTION If you put a video or audio DVD, DVD-ROM or other type of DVD into the disc tray, the unit will attempt to read the disc and rotate at high speed. If you accidentally insert such a disc, wait until the unit stops spinning before ejecting it in order to avoid possibly damaging the disc. Do not attempt to remove the disc when "READING" appears on the display. < Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side up. Only one side of a Compact Disc can be played or used for recording. < To remove a disc from a standard storage case, press down on the case through the center of the disc and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by its edges. How to remove a disc How to hold a disc < Copy-protected discs and other discs that do not conform to the CD standard might not play correctly in this player. If you use such discs in this unit, TEAC Corporation and its subsidiaries will not be responsible for any consequences or guarantee the quality of reproduction. If you experience problems with such non-standard discs, you should contact their issuers. About CD-R/CD-RW discs This unit can play back CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been recorded in the audio CD format (CD-DA) and the MP3 format. < Discs created by a CD recorder must be finalized before use with this unit. < Depending on disc quality and recording conditions, playback of some discs might not be possible. Please see the manual for the device that you used to create the disc. Storage precautions < Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to "skip." < Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high temperature or humidity for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp discs. < CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they not be stored in locations where they will be exposed to direct sunlight. They should also be kept away from sources of heat, such as radiators and heat-generating electrical devices. < If you are uncertain about the handling of a CD-R or CD-RW disc, please contact the seller of the disc directly. 7
