Storage
• Avoid places with direct sunlight, high temperature,

or high humidity, as this may cause warping or
discoloring of the disc.

• Store the disc in the proper case. Placing multiple

discs in one case may cause warping and scratching
of the discs.

Inserting Discs
• Check that the CD is firmly inserted within the tray

guides.

• Inserting the CD slanted may cause damage to the

disc or the CD recorder.

Disc Maintenance
• Fingerprints, dust, and dirt may cause incorrect

operation.

• Basically, take care not to dirty the signal side of the

disc.

• If the disc is dirty, gently wipe the disc clean from the

center outwards using a soft cloth.

• If the dirt is severe, wipe the disc gently with a soft,

damp cloth, and then dry the water using a dry
cloth.

• Do not use benzene, record cleaners, or static

prevention solutions on the disc, as these chemicals
may cause the disc to warp.

Condensation
Turning on the heating in a room when the weather is
cold may cause water droplets to form inside the CD
recorder. This is called condensation. If condensation
occurs, normal operation will be disabled and the disc
and parts may be damaged. In this case, remove the
disc and leave the CD recorder to stand with the power
supply turned ON for 1 hour, and then turn OFF the
power and ON again before using the CD recorder
normally. If normal operation is not restored even after
several hours, consult the Sony Service Center.

Handling Discs
• Do not touch the signal surface (the side without

characters or printing) with your fingers and hands.

• Dust, scratches, and dirt may prevent normal play

and recording.

• If a disc is damaged or dirtied before recording,

normal recording will be disabled, so handle
recording discs with greater care than normal play-
only discs.

• You can delete tracks recorded on CD-RW discs and

reuse the discs for recording as many times as you
like, so when reusing, be sure that you can record
correctly.

• Do not affix stickers to either the signal side or the

printed side of the disc. The disc’s center of gravity
may be upset, and correct reading and writing
disabled, or the CD may become stuck in the player
and unable to be removed, causing damage.

• If writing the disc details or similar directly onto the

surface of the label side (the side with characters or
printing) of the disc, use a soft-tipped pen such as a
felt pen.

• Writing forcefully with a hard-tipped pen such as a

ball pen may cause damage to the recording surface,
disabling the use of the disc.
