Precautions when writing data to discs  
Discs recorded in Packet Write mode or UDF (Universal Disc Format) cannot be played.  
When writing data to a disc, always close the session or finalize the disc. The disc may not play properly if you do not  
close the session or finalize the disc.  
Depending on the specifications of the writing software used, the recorded folder names and file names may not be  
displayed correctly.  
Playback for multi-session discs or discs that contain large numbers of folders may take longer to begin than for normal

If you write audio files and music CD tracks (CD-DA format) to the same disc, the disc may not play correctly.  
Before writing audio files to a disc, check that the files play back correctly on the PC being used to write the files.  
After you finish writing, check that the written files are played back correctly.  
Use the correct file extensions (mp3, wma) in the names of audio files. Files without file extensions will not play. Also, do  
not use audio file extensions (mp3, wma) for files that are not audio files.

Care and Storage  
Care and storage of main unit  
Care and storage of CDs  
Keep the system out of the following  
Storing a CD  
locations  
If you do not plan to use a CD for a long time,  
remove it from the main unit and store it in its  
case.  
Areas exposed to direct sunlight.  
Areas subjected to excessive humidity or dust.  
Areas exposed to direct heat from heating  
equipment.  
Cleaning a CD  
When a disc becomes soiled with fingerprints or  
other stains, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it gently  
in a pattern radiating from the center of the disc.  
Be careful against condensation  
Extreme differences between system temperature  
and air temperature can cause water droplets  
(condensation) to form on the system. The system  
will not operate properly while condensation is  
present. If condensation forms, do not use the  
system for a few hours to allow the condensation  
to dry.  
Take special care against condensation when the  
system is moved between two locations of very  
different temperatures, or into a room where high  
humidity is present.  
Do not use a phonograph record cleaner,  
lacquer thinner, benzine or alcohol to clean  
CDs.  
Do not use any disc accessory (stabilizer,  
protective sheet, protective ring, etc.) or lens  
cleaner.  
Other cautions  
Do not write on a CD with a pencil or ballpoint  
pen.  
When the main unit becomes dirty  
Do not use a CD if its sticker or label is peeling  
or if any adhesive is coming out from under the  
sticker or label.  
When the front panel or case gets dirty, wipe it  
with a soft dry cloth. Never use lacquer thinner,  
benzine, alcohol or contact revitalizer, which will  
cause discoloration or deformation.  
Do not affix paper, stickers or labels to CDs.  
Care and storage of connected components  
Be sure to read the instruction manual that comes  
with each component.
