When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
You can play back finalized CD-R or CD-RW recorded in music CD format. (If a CD-RW has been recorded in a  
different format, erase all the data on the CD-RW completely before recording on it.)  
It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright  
owner.  
You can play back CD-R or CD-RW like an audio CD.  
Some CD-R or CD-RW may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or  
stain on them, or if the player lens is dirty.  
ERASE PROTECTION  
The reflection factor of CD-RW is lower than that of other CDs, possibly causing CD-RW to take longer time  
to read.  
CD-R and CD-RW of MP3 format cannot be played back.  
When you record new material, the cassette deck records over what-  
ever is on a tape. To protect a tape from accidental erasure, break  
off one or both plastic tabs (one for each tape side) on the top of the  
cassette tape. If you decide later to record on the tape, seal the  
hole with a piece of cellophane tape.  
Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.  
Caution for DualDisc playback  
The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore,  
the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.  
WARNING  
A little bit of slack in your tape can cause scratches on the tape, or worse yet, the tape  
could break. If you notice some slack in the tape, use a pencil to tighten it up before you  
insert it in the tape deck.  
TIP  
The use of tapes longer than 120 minutes is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and  
these tapes easily jam in the pinch-roller and the capstan.

Dirty discs can cause poor sound quality. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from  
the inner edge toward the outer perimeter.  
If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove  
any water drops with a dry cloth.  
Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene, thin-  
ner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to the disc surface.

When playing a CD-R or CD-RW  
You can play back finalized CD-R or CD-RW recorded in music CD format. (If a CD-RW has been recorded in a  
different format, erase all the data on the CD-RW completely before recording on it.)  
It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright  
owner.  
You can play back CD-R or CD-RW like an audio CD.  
Some CD-R or CD-RW may not be played back on this unit because of their disc characteristics, damage or  
stain on them, or if the player lens is dirty.  
ERASE PROTECTION  
The reflection factor of CD-RW is lower than that of other CDs, possibly causing CD-RW to take longer time  
to read.  
CD-R and CD-RW of MP3 format cannot be played back.  
When you record new material, the cassette deck records over what-  
ever is on a tape. To protect a tape from accidental erasure, break  
off one or both plastic tabs (one for each tape side) on the top of the  
cassette tape. If you decide later to record on the tape, seal the  
hole with a piece of cellophane tape.  
Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.  
Caution for DualDisc playback  
The Non-DVD side of a “DualDisc” does not comply with the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” standard. Therefore,  
the use of Non-DVD side of a DualDisc on this product may not be recommended.  
WARNING  
A little bit of slack in your tape can cause scratches on the tape, or worse yet, the tape  
could break. If you notice some slack in the tape, use a pencil to tighten it up before you  
insert it in the tape deck.  
TIP  
The use of tapes longer than 120 minutes is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration may occur and  
these tapes easily jam in the pinch-roller and the capstan.

depending on the contents recorded on the disc.  
It is recommended that you record your material at a 44.1-kHz sampling rate, using the 128-kbps data  
transfer rate.  
Some MP3 files or discs may not be played back because of their characteristics or recording  
conditions.
