This unit is a very intricate device that uses a laser
pickup to retrieve information from the surface of
compact discs. The laser is carefully shielded so that
its rays remain inside the cabinet.

Therefore, never try to disassemble the player or alter
any of its parts since you may be exposed to laser
rays and dangerous voltages.

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, fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.

¡

CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high temperatures and
high humidity than ordinary music CDs. Leaving them
inside a car for extended periods may damage them and
make playback impossible.

¡

Some CD-R/RWs cannot be played back successfully due
to incompatibility among writing software, a CD recorder
(CD-R/RW drive) and the discs.

¡

This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs if the session is
not closed.

¡

This player cannot play the CD-R/RW discs which contain
other than CD-DA data.
