Important notes on handling CDs
1 Carefully lift the disc from the disc case, mak-
ing sure to hold the disc by its edges or the
hole in the middle.
2 You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe dust and
fingerprints off the surface of CDs.
Do not use volatile agents on discs, such as
thinner or benzene. Also, do not use conven-
tional record cleaner or antistatic agents.
• Do not place a CD in direct sunlight or in loca-
tions subject to high humidity or low temperature.
• Do not store a CD in the unit’s disc tray for a long
period of time.
Playable discs
This unit can play the following discs.
You cannot play back discs other than those listed
above.
Do not use discs that are not audio discs (e.g., CD-
ROMs for use with personal computers), as these
could damage the speakers and amplifier.
Avoid using heart-shaped or octagonal discs. Playing
irregularly-shaped discs may damage the internal
mechanism of the unit.
Do not use discs that have residue from adhesive
tape, rental discs that have peeling labels, or discs
that have custom labels or stickers. Otherwise, you
may not be able to eject the discs or the unit may
become inoperative.
The MD is housed in a cartridge, so you can handle it
without worrying about dust and fingerprints. Even so,
a dirty or warped cartridge may malfunction. Always
remember the following precautions so you can enjoy
high-quality sound for a long time.
Do not touch the disc in the cartridge directly with
your fingers.
Do not open the shutter by hand. Doing so may dam-
age the disc.
Storage location
Avoid storing MDs in a place subject to direct sunlight,
high temperature, or high humidity.
When the unit is not to be used for an extended
period
Remove the MD from the unit to prevent dust from
entering the MD cartridge. When the MD is in the unit,
the shutter of the MD cartridge remains open.
Regular care
Wipe off dust and dirt that has accumulated on the
cartridge surface with a dry cloth.
Removing a partially inserted MD
If the “self-lock function” is activated and the MD can-
not be removed, push the MD further into the MD disc
slot and then press MD (eject) to remove the MD.
Protecting recordings from accidental
erasure
You can protect your MDs from accidental recording
by sliding the record-protect tab on the MDs to open
the record-protect window. To make the MDs record-
able again, return the record-protect tab.
