Beware of condensation
Condensation could occur if the unit is moved from a cold place

been heated or it is otherwise exposed to a sudden temperature
change.
To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the unit sit for one or two
hours at the new room temperature before using it.

chemical cleaning cloths, thinner, alcohol or other chemical
agents. Doing so could damage the surface or cause discolor-
ation.

In addition to commercially-available music CDs, this unit can
play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in the audio CD (CD-DA)
format as well as CD-R and CD-RW discs that contain MP3 audio
files.
CAUTION

tomatically be ejected. During ejection, if it stops at a place

Dirt on discs can lower the sound quality, so clean them and
always store them in a clean state.

Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene,
paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they
could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause CDs
to become unplayable.

Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use
discs that have had tape, stickers or other materials applied
to their surface. Do not use discs that have sticky residue
from stickers, etc. Such discs could become stuck in the unit
or cause it to malfunction.

Copy Control CDs have been sold by several record compa-
nies in an attempt to protect their copyrights. Since some of
these discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they
may not be playable on the unit.
Slot loading of discs
1.
As shown in the illustration, hold the disc with the labeled
side up and insert it part way into the slot.
2.
Push the disc in further until just before it disappears. It will
automatically be drawn in to the slot.
If a disc will not load properly
If a disc becomes stuck during insertion, for example, and is diffi-
cult to push, do not try to force the disc in. Pull the disc out once,
press the EJECT button, and then try inserting it again. (Trying
to force the disc in could damage the unit.)
