Unpacking
Unpack the unit carefully and make sure that all accessories are put aside so they will not be lost.
Examine the unit for any possibility of shipping damage. If your unit is damaged or fails to operate, notify your dealer immediately. If your
unit was shipped to you directly, notify the shipping company without delay. Only the consignee (the person or company receiving the
unit) can file a claim against the carrier for shipping damage.

Handling of discs and tapes
Disc handling precautions
Handling
Hold compact discs so that you do not
touch the playing surface.
Cleaning
If fingerprints or foreign matter become at-
tached to the disc, lightly wipe the disc with a
soft cotton cloth (or similar) from the center of
the disc outwards in a radial manner.
Storage
When a disc is not to be played for a long pe-
riod of time, remove it from the CD player and
store it in its case.
Label side
Playing side
Sticker, etc
Do not attach paper or tape to either
the playing side or the label side of com-
pact discs.
CD accessories
The CD accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protection ring, etc.)
which are marketed for improving the sound quality or protecting discs
as well as the disc cleaner should not be used with this system be-
cause they may cause malfunction.
Sticky paste
CD (12 cm , 8 cm ), CDV (only the audio part)
÷With CD-G (CD Graphics) discs, this unit can play only the audio.
÷Please do not use discs which are not round because they may
cause a malfunction.
Discs which can be played with this unit
Never play cracked or w arped disc.
Caution on disc used
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player.
Therefore, to avoid malfunction, never use a cracked or deformed disc
or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.
Do not use cleaning discs.
Please do not use commercially available cleaning discs, they may
damage the internal mechanism.
Notes on cassette tape
Safety tab (accidental erasure prevention tab)
After an important recording has been finished, break the safety tab,
to prevent the recorded contents from being erased or recorded on
accidentally.
To store cassette tapes
Do not store the tapes in a place which is subject to direct sunlight, or
near equipment that generates heat. Keep the cassette tapes away
from any magnetic field.
For A side
For B side
When there is slack in the tape
In such a case, insert a pencil into the reel hole and wind the reel hub
to remove the slack.
Apply tape only to the position where
the tab has been removed.
To re-record
1. Longer tape than 110 m inutes cassette tape
Since longer tape than 110 minutes cassette tape is very
thin, the tape could adhere to the pinch roller or be easily cut.
It is recommended that these tapes not be used with this
unit to prevent possible damage.
2. Endless tapes
Do not use an endless tape, as this could damage the mechanism of
the unit.
