Discs
< Always place the disc on the disc tray
with the label side up. (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 remove
the disc
How to hold
the disc
< Should the disc become dirty, wipe the
surface radially (from the center hole
outward towards the outer edge) with a
soft, 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.
< 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 humidity and temperature for
extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures will warp the disc.
< Do not play any disc that is warped,
deformed or damaged.
Playing such discs may cause irreparable
harm to the playing mechanisms.
< 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.
< Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs aren't
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 CDs with an irregular shape
(octagonal, heart shaped, business card
size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage
the unit:
< If you are in any doubt as to the care and
handling of a CD-R/CD-RW disc, read the
precautions supplied with the disc, or
contact the disc manufacturer directly.
MP3 compatibility
< File names of MP3 should
alphanumeric characters. This unit cannot
display symbols and full-size or 2 bytes-
wide characters (such as Japanese,
Chinese, etc.) correctly. Also, be sure to
use the file extension ".mp3".
< The disc must be finalized in order to
play.
< The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660
compatible.
< When more than 200 files or folders are
recorded on the disc, the unit might not
be able to play it correctly.
< The file must be mono or stereo MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3 format, 44.1 or 48 kHz,
fixed bit-rate.
