very thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be
easily cut. It is recommended that these tapes not be
used with this unit to prevent possible damage.
Handling
Hold compact discs so that you do not
touch the playing surface.
÷ Do not attach paper or tape to either
the playing side or the label side of
compact discs.
÷ The paste left on the label surface after
a sticker has been peeled off is a factor
which may cause malfunction. If the
surface is sticky due to remaining paste,
be sure to clean it with alcohole before
use.
Apply tape only to the position
where the tab has been removed.
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
CD player and store it in its case.
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.
Do not use cleaning discs.
Please do not use commercially available cleaning discs, they may dam-
age the internal mechanism.
CD (12 cm, 8 cm)
÷ With CD-G (CD Graphics) discs, this unit can play only the audio.
To store cassette tapes
Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to direct
sunlight, or near equipment that generates 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.
2. Endless tapes
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the
mechanism of the unit.
