¡You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either due
to their recording characteristics or dirt, fingerprints, scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
¡CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them
inside a car for extended periods may damage them and make playback impossible.
¡Some CD-R/RWs can not be played back successfully thanks to incompatibility among writing software, a CD
recorder (CD-R/RW drive) and the discs.
¡This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is not closed.
¡This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contains other than CD-DA or compressed audio data.
¡Be sure to observe the instructions of CD-R/RW disc for handling it.
Maintenance/Fuse
Your product is designed and manufactured to ensure the minimum of maintenance. Use a soft cloth for
routine exterior cleaning. Never use benzine, thinner, or other solvents.
If the fuse blows out, consult your dealer, or your nearest authorized Panasonic Servicenter.
Warning
¡Use fuses of the same specified rating (15 A). Using substitutes or fuses with higher ratings, or connecting the
unit directly without a fuse could cause fire or damage to the unit. If the replaced fuse fails, contact your
nearest authorized Panasonic Servicenter.
