CD PREVENTIVE CARES
- This compact disc player is designed for playing compact discs bearing the disc and marks only. Never attempt to load any other type of disc into the unit. The unit will also play 8-cm (3-inch) compact discs.
- Compact discs are not subjected to wear during play, but damage to the disc surface when the disc is being handled can adversely affect the disc's play.
- Do not use cleaning discs or warped discs. All of these could damage the unit.
To prevent a malfunction of this unit
- Do not use any non standard shaped CD (heart, etc.) available on the market, because it may damage the unit.

- Do not use a CD with tape, seals, or paste on it, because damage to the unit may result.
- Compact discs are not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they should be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center.

Notes
- Not all discs have index numbers. The index system has a method for sub-dividing tracks into smaller divisions (for example, the movements within classical symphonies) for easier location of those parts. The liner notes with the disc usually tell if such index numbers are included.
- If an index number is selected that is higher than any index number on that disc, play will start from the last index number point on the disc.
- For some discs, play may begin slightly prior to the actual designated index point.
- If the disc has no encoded index points, play will begin from the start of the selected track.
