Disc Insert
The surfaces of new discs tend to be slippery. Therefore,
when using such a disc for the fi rst time, it may not load
satisfactorily even when it has been inserted into the unit. At
a time like this, insert the disc into the unit as far as it will go
until it is loaded properly.
• When inserting a disc into or ejecting and removing it
from the unit, insert it straight in or eject and remove it
straight out in parallel with the unit.
Observe, the disc may be scratched or marked in the
process.

Notes on CD-Rs/RWs
• You may have trouble playing back some CD-R/RW discs
recorded using CD recorders (CD-R/RW drives), either
due to their recording characteristics or dirt, fi ngerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
• CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and
high humidity than ordinary music CD. Leaving them inside
a car for extended periods may damage and make playback
impossible.
• The unit may not successfully playback a CD-R/RW, that was
made by the combination of writing software, a CD recorder
(CD-R/RW drive) and a disc if they are incompatible with one
another.
• This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is
not closed.
• Be sure to observe the handling instructions of CD-R/RW
discs.
• This player cannot play CD-R/RW discs which contain other
than CD-DA or MP3/WMA/AAC data (Video CD, etc.).
If you use commercial CDs, they must have either of these labels shown at
right.
Some copy-protected music CDs are not playable.
