Precautions for use
SD cards and USB flash drives are delicate media.
In order to avoid damaging SD cards and USB flash drives, please
take the following precautions when handling them.
0 Do not leave them in extremely hot or cold places.
0 Do not leave them in extremely humid places.
0 Do not let them get wet.
0 Do not put things on top of them or twist them.
0 Do not hit them.
0 Do not remove or insert them during recording, playback,
data transmission or other access.
0 When transporting them, put them into cases, for example.
SD card write protection
This unit writes track information to the media in order to im-
prove operation performance. Since track information cannot be
written to SD cards that are write-protected, the amount of time
needed to read media will become longer, for example.
Note about formatting
SD cards and USB flash drives formatted by this unit are opti-
mized to improve performance during recording. Use this unit
to format the SD cards and USB flash drives to be used with it.
Errors might occur when recording with this unit using an SD
card or USB flash drive formatted by a computer or other device.
About compact discs
In addition to commercially-available music CDs, this unit can
play CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been recorded in audio CD
(CD-DA) format, as well as CD-R and CD-RW discs that have MP3
and WAV audio files recorded on them.
CAUTION
8cm CDs cannot be used with this unit. If an 8cm CD is load-
ed, it will be automatically ejected. If it stops ejecting before
it can be removed, press the EJECT button.

CD-RW
0 Always insert the compact discs in the slot with their label
facing upward.
0 To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center of
the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it carefully by
the edges.
0 Do not touch the signal side (the unlabeled side). Finger-
prints, oils and other substances can cause errors during play-
back.
0 To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry
cloth from the center towards the outside edge.
Dirt on discs can lower the sound quality, so clean them and
always store them in a clean state.
0 Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene,
paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they
could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause CDs
to become unplayable.
0 Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use
discs that have had tape, stickers or other materials applied
to their surface. Do not use discs that have sticky residue
from stickers, etc. Such discs could become stuck in the unit
or cause it to malfunction.
0 Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer. Using stabi-
lizers with this player will damage the mechanism and cause
it to malfunction.
0 Do not use cracked discs.
0 Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circular pro-
motional, etc. discs.
0 Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection system, have
been released from several record companies in an attempt
to protect the copyright. Since some of these discs do not
comply with the CD specifications, they may not be playable
on the unit.
0 If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R
and CD-RW discs, read the precautions supplied with the disc,
or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
About CD-R and CD-RW discs
CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been
used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded. How-
ever, if space is available on the disc, additional material can be
recorded. By finalizing a CD-R that you have finished using for
recording, you can make it playable by most ordinary CD play-
ers. (Some CD players might not be able to play back CD-R discs
even if they are finalized.)
CD-RW discs allow recorded tracks to be erased to make space
available again, allowing disc reuse. However, tracks can only be
erased in the order from the last added. To erase a track in the
middle, you must erase all the tracks added after it at the same
time. Finalized CD-RW discs can only be played back in CD play-
ers that support CD-RW disc playback.
