For optimal playing use original CDs only.
Regular operation is not guaranteed if using
R/RW CDs not properly mastered and/or
CDs with max. capacity higher than 650
MB.
IMPORTANT Do not use the protective
sheets for CD in commerce or discs with sta-
bilisers, etc. as they might get stuck in the
internal mechanism and damage the disc.

be used, then, few seconds may be required
for playing them. Moreover, due to the pro-
liferation of always new and different pro-
tection methods, it is not guaranteed that

disc. Copy protection is often indicated on

ED", "THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A
PC/MAC", or it is identified by symbols like:
