Close the session after recording. Play may be impossible on some discs due to the condition of the recording.
 Operation and sound quality of CDs that do not conform to CD-DA specifi cations (copy control CDs, etc.) cannot be guaranteed.
 The producer of the disc can control how discs are played. So you may not always be able to control play as described in these operating
instructions. Read the disc's instructions carefully.

Media Care

[RAM] Use cartridges to protect them from scratches and dirt.
Holding a disc or card
Handle discs by the edges to avoid inadvertently scratching or
getting oil from your fi ngers on the disc. Do not touch the signal
surface of discs (the shiny side) or the terminal surface (the
metal part) of SD cards.
Cleaning discs
Discs are not indestructible and occasionally dirt or
condensation may appear. Clean by gently wiping with a soft,
dry lint-free cloth in a straight line from the center of the disc to
the edge of the disc.
Return discs to their cases and SD cards to their cartridges
when not in use; this helps to protect against scratches and
dirt.
Video cassette
 Poor quality or damaged video cassettes can cause the
heads to become dirty and malfunction.
 Never use video cassettes on which juice has been spilled
or those that are extremely damaged since this will not only
cause the heads to become dirty, but will also make the unit
malfunction.
