CD can be placed in any position at a time.
When a 8cm (3") disc is played, DO NOT place a
standard 12cm (5") disc over the smaller disc.

embossed in the plastic tray.This corresponds to
the position this disc will occupy for playback

Disc Handling Notes
When loading or unloading discs, it is best to
hold them by the edges.
While compact discs are very reliable, rough
handling may damage them.Avoid scratching
the bottom (nonprinted) side of discs, and any
handling that will leave fingerprints.
To avoid damage to the disc and player, always
seat discs so that they are centered in the tray.
Do not lift the player while the disc tray is open-
ing or closing, as this may cause the discs to
unseat from the tray and possibly jam.
Note: Always remember to remove all discs
from the player before moving or repacking it.
