oil-based felt-tipped pen.
Do not use cleaning discs or warped discs. All of these could
damage this unit.
Although playback of CDs is generally not affected by small
particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, dust,
fingerprints, small scratches and direct sunlight on the recording
surtace of a CD-R or CD-RW disc may make recording impos­
sible. Therefore, for optimal performance of the recorder and for
