that it is secured properly by the catches of the adapter. If discs have been
inserted without the adapter by mistake, remove the disc immediately by
pressing the EJECT button. If the disc does not come out with one press,
press another time.

standard product). Do not use adapters which cause the disc to idle, nor
adapters which are bent or curved.

light up, the PLAY/PAUSE button [3/8] indicator will flash, and the player
will then wait for the PLAY/PAUSE button (3/8) to be pressed before begin-
