  Video CDs
  Super Audio CDs
  DVD video discs
  DVD audio discs
  DVD-ROM discs

If you load a DVD video, DVD audio, DVD-ROM or similar disc into this unit, the unit will try to play it and spin at high speed. If you accidentally load such a disc, the disc could be damaged, so do not try to remove it until it stops spinning.

• This unit might not be able to properly play Copy Control CDs, Dual Discs or other special CDs that do not conform to the Red Book CD standard. Operation and sound quality cannot be guaranteed when special discs are used in this unit. If playback of a special disc should cause trouble, contact the seller of the disc.

CD-R/CD-RW discs

This unit can play CD-R/CD-RW discs that have been recorded in audio CD format (CD-DA) and CD-R discs that contain MP3 or WMA format files.

• In order to play a disc created by a CD recorder, be sure to finalize it.
• Depending on the quality of the disc and the condition of the recording, playback might not be possible. For details, see the operation manual for the device you are using.
• If you have any questions about how to handle a CD-R or CD-RW disc, contact the seller of the disc directly.

Precautions for use

• Do not use cracked discs because they could damage the unit.
• Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use discs that have had tape, stickers or similar materials removed from them as they may have left a sticky residue on the disc's surface. Other discs to avoid are ones that have exposed glue around the edges of stickers, for example. Using such a disc in this unit could cause the disc to become stuck or could damage the unit.
• When writing something on the label side of a disc, use a felt tip permanent marker. The use of a ballpoint pen or other pen with a hard tip could damage the disc, making it unplayable.
• Never use commercially-available CD stabilizers. Doing so could make the disc unplayable or damage the unit.
• Never use discs with irregular shapes, including heartshaped and octagonal discs, because they could damage the unit.
  
• To remove a disc from its case, while pressing down on the center of the case, hold the disc by its edges. Do not touch the side of the disc that has the data encoded on it (unlabeled side).

If a disc will not load properly

If a disc becomes caught or is otherwise difficult to insert, do not push it in forcefully. Press the EJECT () button and remove the disc once before trying to reinsert it. (Pushing a disc forcefully could damage the unit.)

Storing discs

• Discs should be stored in their cases when not being used. Failure to do so could result in warping and scratches.
• Do not leave discs in places that are exposed to direct sunlight or that are very humid or hot. Doing so could cause discs to become deformed or degraded, making them unplayable.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs are more susceptible to the impacts of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. For this reason, do not leave them for long times in places that are exposed to direct sunlight or near devices that generate heat, for example.
• Always clean discs before storing them. Leaving a disc in an unclean state might result in skipping or degraded sound quality.

Cleaning discs

• If the side of the disc that has the data encoded on it (unlabeled side) becomes dirty with fingerprints or dust, use a soft cloth to wipe the surface from the center directly toward the edge.
  
• Never use record cleaners, antistatic treatments, thinners or similar chemicals to clean discs. Such chemicals could harm the surface of the disc.
