Disc handling precautions  
Cleaning  
If fingerprints or foreign matter become  
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.
