Notes on usable CDs
■ Cautions when using rented compact
discs
Do not use discs that have cellophane tape attached
to them or rental compact discs that have rental
labels attached. If the tape is sticking out or peeling
off, the disc may not be able to be ejected and the
CDR-201A may become damaged.
■ Do not use 8-cm CD adapters.
Condensation
When moving the CDR-201A from a cold
location to a hot location, when quickly heating a
cold location with a furnace, or other similar
situation, condensation may occur. This may not
only cause improper operation of the device, but
may also damage the discs and components.
If condensation has occurred, turn on the CDR-
201A and leave it running for 1 to 2 hours. If you
will not use the CDR-201A, then eject any disc
inside.
If the dirt is excessive, soak the cloth in water, wring
it out, and then wipe the disc surface clean. Next,
using a soft dry cloth, wipe the moisture from the
disc surface.
Do not use conventional record cleaners or antistatic
agents. Also, never use benzene, thinners, or other
volatile agents as they may damage the disc surface.
■ Cautions for disc storage
Do not store discs in locations exposed to direct
sunlight, near heat emitting devices, and other
locations of excessive heat, or locations of extremely
low temperatures. Also, always store discs properly
in their protective cases.
■ Cleaning
Dirt and contaminants on discs can obstruct the
pickup of the signals and lead to deterioration the
sound. When dirty, clean the data side with a soft
dry cloth, wiping from the inside of the disc toward
the outside.
Never place labels or stickers on the data side or
label side of the discs. Also, do not write on the discs
or allow them to become scratched.
Do not play CD-ROMs intended for computer use or
non-audio compact discs. Doing so may cause high-
pitched noises or other unpredictable results that
may damage speakers, amplifiers, and other
connected components.
■ Handling discs
Be careful not to touch the data side of the disc (the
side that does not have printing on it). Always hold
discs by the edges or by using the hole in the middle.
