NOTES ABOUT THE DISCS
* Handle the discs carefully so as not to scratch their
surfaces.
* Keep the surfaces of the discs clean at all times.
When cleaning the surfaces of discs, always be sure to use
the special cleaner and wipe the surfaces in the directions
shown in the figure below.
• Wipe the surface radially
from the center.
• Do not wipe the surface
in the circumferential
direction.
* Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to the label
surfaces of the discs.
When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental CD label
with paste protruding from the edge or when a disc still bears
traces of sticky tape or adhesive labels, do not attempt to play
it. If such a disc is played on the CD player, you may find that
you cannot remove it or that some other kind of malfunctioning
may occur.
* Do not use discs which come in special shapes.
Do not attempt to play heart-shaped or octagonal discs or discs
with any other special shapes. You may find that you cannot
remove them or that some other kind of malfunctioning may
occur in the player.
* Use discs which satisfy the CD standards such as
those with the “CD logo”, “
” or “
TEXT
” mark on their
disc label surfaces.
No guarantees are made for playback if discs which do not
satisfy the appropriate CD standards are used.
Similarly, no guarantees are made for their sound quality even
if it is possible to play such discs.
* To protect your discs from damage, avoid placing
them in the following locations.
• Where they will be exposed to direct sunlight or where they
will be close to a heater or other heat-radiating appliance
• Where the humidity level is high or it is very dusty
• Near a window or other such location where they may be
exposed to rain
* Get into the habit of putting the discs back in their
cases after use.

ABOUT PLAYING COPY-CONTROLLED
CDS
Some copy-controlled CDs may not conform to official CD
standards. They are special discs and may not play on the
unit.

Playing CD-R/CD-RW discs
This unit can play back the CD-RW (ReWritable) discs as well
as ordinary Audio CD and CD-R (Recordable) discs.
• The CD-R and CD-RW discs should contain properly-
recorded TOC* information so that they can be played back.
In CD recorders, the task of writing TOC information is
referred to as finalizing the disc. Discs that are not finalized
cannot be properly recognized as an Audio CD and played
back by regular CD players and Super Audio CD players. For
details, please read the instruction manual provided with a
CD recorder.
* TOC stands for Table Of Contents and contains information
such as the total number of tracks and total playing time
of the disc.
• This unit can play CD format, and CD-R/CD-RW discs
which contain WMA/MP3 music data. However, some discs
may have problems such as unable to play, noise or sound
distortion.
• This device is exclusively a playback device. It cannot record
CD-R/CD-RW discs.
• As the playback of a CD-RW disc necessitates partial change
of the player setup, it may take longer time for reading the
TOC information than when an Audio CD or CD-R disc is
played.
• Depending on the application settings and environment,
discs recorded with a personal computer may not be able to
be played. Please record with the correct format. (For details,
please inquire at your application sales agent.)
• Discs recorded with the packet writing system cannot be
played.
• Mixed mode CD/enhanced CD and DTS CD discs cannot
be played.
• CD-G, video CD and DVD discs cannot be played.

About DualDisc playback
• “DualDisc” contains DVD-standard-compliant video and
audio on one side and audio for playing on a CD player on
the other side, respectively.
• Since the non-DVD audio side does not conform to common
CD physical standards, it may not be able to be played.
• In regard to details such as “DualDisc” specifications
and standards, please inquire at your selling agent or
distributor.
