XMD3

Use only compact discs bearing the 

 or 

 mark.

Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other specially shaped
compact discs.

Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode may not be usable.

• Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and CD-RW discs are

both easily affected by high temperature and humidity and
some of CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be played. Therefore,
do not leave them for a long time in the car.

• New discs may have some roughness around the edges. If such

discs are used, the player may not work or the sound may skip.
Use a ball-point pen or the like to remove any roughness from
the edge of the disc.

• Never stick labels on the surface of the compact disc or mark

the surface with a pencil or pen.

• Never play a compact disc with any cellophane tape or other

glue on it or with peeling off marks. If you try to play such a
compact disc, you may not be able to get it back out of the CD
player or it may damage the CD player.

• Do not use compact discs that have large scratches, are

misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of such discs may cause
misoperation or damage.

• To remove a compact disc from its storage case, press down on

the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by
the edges.

• Do not use commercially available CD protection sheets or

discs equipped with stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc
or cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.

• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight or any heat

source.

• Do not expose compact discs to excess humidity or dust.

• Do not expose compact discs to direct heat from heaters.

• To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft cloth and wipe in a

straight line from the center of the compact disc to the circum-
ference.

• Do not use any solvents, such as commercially available

cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to clean compact discs.

• After using special compact disc cleaner, let the compact disc

dry off well before playing it.
