attached to the disc, lightly wipe the
disc with a soft cotton cloth (or similar)
from the center of the disc outwards,
in a radial manner.
Handling
Hold compact discs so that you do not
touch the playing surface.
Label side
÷Do not attach paper or tape to either
the playing side or the label side of
compact discs.
Playing
side
Sticker
Storage
÷The paste left on the label surface after
a sticker has been peeled off is a factor
which may cause malfunction. If the
surfaceisstickyduetoremainingpaste,
be sure to clean it with alcohole before
use.
Pepration
When a disc is not to be played for a
long period of time, remove it from the
CD player and store it in its case.
Sticky paste
Never play a cracked or warped disc.
Caution on disc used
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player.
Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a cracked or deformed disc or a
disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.
Do not use cleaning discs.
Please do not use commercially available cleaning discs, they may dam-
age the internal mechanism.
CD (12 cm, 8 cm), CDV (only the audio part)
÷With CD-G (CD Graphics) discs, this unit can play only the audio.
Discs which can be played with this unit
Notes on cassette tape
To store cassette tapes
Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)
After an important recording has been finished, break
the safety tab, to prevent the recorded contents from
being erased or recorded on accidentally.
Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to direct
sunlight, or near equipment that generates heat. Keep the
cassette tapes away from any magnetic field.
For A side
For B side
When there is slack in the tape
In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind the
reel hub to remove the slack.
Apply tape only to the position
where the tab has been removed.
To re-record
1. Longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape
2. Endless tapes
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the
mechanism of the unit.
Since longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape is
NNoottee
very thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be
easily cut. It is recommended that these tapes not be
used with this unit to prevent possible damage.
