shaped discs.
Do not insert anything other than a CD into the CD
loading slot.
Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise
damaged discs as they may damage the player.
Unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW disc playback is not possi-
ble.

Avoid leaving discs in excessively hot environments
including under direct sunlight.
Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemicals to
the surface of the discs.
To clean a CD, wipe the disc with a soft cloth outward
from the center.
Condensation may temporarily impair the player’s
performance. Leave it to adjust to the warmer tem-
perature for about one hour. Also, wipe any damp
discs with a soft cloth.
Playback of discs may not be possible because of
disc characteristics, disc format, recorded applica-
tion, playback environment, storage conditions, and
so on.
Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.
Read the precautions for discs before using them.

DualDiscs
DualDiscs are two-sided discs that have a recordable
CD for audio on one side and a recordable DVD for
video on the other.
Since the CD side of DualDiscs is not physically com-
patible with the general CD standard, it may not be
possible to play the CD side with this unit.
Frequent loading and ejecting of a DualDisc may re-
sult in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches can
lead to playback problems on this unit. In some
cases, a DualDisc may become stuck in the disc load-
ing slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recom-
mend you refrain from using DualDisc with this unit.
Please refer to the information from the disc manu-
facturer for more detailed information about Dual-
Discs.
