CD-R
< Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the
recording, some CD-R or CD-RW discs may not be playable.
< Copy-protected discs and other discs which do not conform
to the CD standard may not play back correctly with this unit.
If you use such discs with this unit, TEAC Corporation and its
subsidiaries cannot be responsible for any consequences or
guarantee the quality of reproduction. If you experience any
problems with such non-standard discs, contact the producers of
the disc.
Handling precautions
< Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side
uppermost. Compact discs can be played or recorded only on
one side.
< To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center
of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

How to hold the disc
CAUTION:
< Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged.
Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing
mechanisms.
< Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recommended, as the
label side might be sticky and damage the unit.
< Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do not
use any protective coating spray.
< Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on
the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this
may cause damage to the recorded side.
< Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers
with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to
malfunction.
< Do not use irregular shape discs (octagonal, heart shaped,
business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit.
Maintenance
< If the disc becomes dirty, wipe the surface radially from the center
hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft and dry cloth.
< Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or
fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do
irreparable damage to the disc's plastic surface.
Storage precautions
< Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust
and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to "skip."
< Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high-temperature
and humidity for extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures will warp the disc.
< CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat
and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they
are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on
them, and away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-
generating electrical devices.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R or
CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact
the disc manufacturer.
