Sticker
ther the playing side or the label
side of the discs.
Sticky paste
Cleaning
If fingerprints or foreign matter
become attached to the disc,
lightly wipe the disc with a soft
cotton cloth (or similar) from the
center of the disc outwards in a
radial manner.
Storage
When a disc is not to be played for a long period
of time, remove it from the player and store it in
its case.
Notes on cassette tape
Safety tab (accidental erasure preven-
tion tab)
After an important recording has been finished,
break the safety tab, to prevent the recorded con-
tents from being erased or recorded on accidentally.
For B side
To re-record
Apply tape only to the position where the tab has
been removed.
Note :
•
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of the unit.
•
Do not use a cassette with more than 90 minutes recording time, for the tape used in such a cassette
is very thin and tends to cause troubles such as engantlement around the pinch roller or cutting of
tape.

For A side
Discs which can be played with this unit
CD (12 cm, 8 cm) and the audio part of CDV, CD-G,
CD-EG and CD-EXTRA. Use discs that comply with
the IEC standard, for example a disc carrying the
marking on the label surface.
Never play a cracked or warped disc
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in
the player. Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a
cracked or deformed disc or a disc repaired with
tape or adhesive agent. Please do not use discs
which are not round because they may cause a
malfunction.
Disc accessories
The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet,
protection ring, etc.) which are marketed for improv-
ing the sound quality or protecting discs as well as
the disc cleaner should not be used with this sys-
tem because they may cause malfunction.
To store cassette tapes
Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject
to direct sunlight, or near equipment that gener-
ates heat. Keep the cassette tapes away from
any magnetic field.
When there is slack in the tape
In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole
and wind the reel hub to remove the slack.
