Notes on CD-R/ CD-RW Disc
EN
•
Disconnect the system from AC power
before cleaning the exterior of the unit with
a soft dust cloth
•
CD-R discs that are recorded using personal
computers or other CD-R recorders may not
be played on this unit due to the difference
in recording platforms.
•
Clean the exterior with a soft clean cloth or
slightly moistened chamois leather. DO NOT
use solvents as it may cause damage to the
unit.
•
•
Do not affix any type of labels to either side
(recordable or labeled side) of a CD-R disc as
this may result in the disc malfunctioning.
To avoid damages to the CD-R disc, do not
open the disc compartment door while the
disc is being read. This may take more then
30 seconds.
Handling CDs
•
Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs
by the edges, or by one edge and the hole.
•
Do not load an unrecorded CD-R disc into
the unit.
•
Do not affix labels or adhesive tapes to the
label surfaces. Do not scratch or damage the
label.
•
•
CDs rotate at high speeds inside the player.
Do not use damaged (cracked or warped)
CDs
Cassettes
• To protect your recordings from accidental
erasure on one or both sides of your
cassette, snap out the tab at the top of the
cassette. If you decide later to record on the
