Playing Back Discs
This unit has been designed to play back the following discs
—CD, CD-R, and CD-RW.
When playing a CD-R or CD-RW
User-edited CD-Rs (CD-Recordable) and CD-RWs
(CD-ReWritable) can be played only if they are already
"finalized."
• Usually you can play back your original CD-Rs or CD-
RWs recorded in music CD format. However, sometimes
they may not play depending on their characteristics or
recording conditions.
• Before playing CD-Rs or CD-RWs, read their instructions
or cautions carefully.
• Some CD-Rs or CD-RWs may not play on this unit because
of their disc characteristics, damage or stain on them, or if
the player's lens is dirty.
• CD-RWs may require a longer readout time. This is
because the reflectance of CD-RWs is lower than for
regular discs.
General notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your discs and the mechanism clean.
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
• Keep the unit's disc tray closed when not in use.
Continued use of irregular shape discs
(heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.
Handling discs
• Remove the disc from its case by
holding it at the edge while pressing the
center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the
disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use to
prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface
of the disc when placing it back in its
case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,
temperature extremes, and moisture.
To clean the disc
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.
DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional record
cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to clean the disc.
