Music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies
This product is designed to playback discs that conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard. Recently, various music discs encoded with copyright protection technologies are marketed by some record companies. Please be aware that among those discs, there are some that do not conform to the CD standard and may not be playable by this product. Precautions/Specifications

Notes on CDs

Do not scratch or attach stickers to the surface of the
disc. CDs in non-standard shapes (e.g., a star, heart, or square) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do so may damage the unit. When cleaning the disc, use a cleaning cloth and wipe the disc from the center out to the edge. If the disc is extremely dirty, wipe the disc with a slightly moistened cloth, followed by a dry cloth. Do not clean a disc using benzene, thinner, commercial cleaners or anti-static sprays intended for vinyl LPs. Do not place discs in hot places, including places exposed to direct sunlight, near heat sources such as hot air ducts, or inside parked cars. Do not use a rental or secondhand disc on which glue that spread from under the label attached to it. If you do, there is a chance that the disc may become stuck to parts within the unit, causing it to malfunction. Do not use a commercial cleaning disc as it may cause the unit to malfunction.

Note on DualDiscs

A DualDisc is a two sided disc product which mates DVD recorded material on one side with digital audio material on the other side. However, since the audio material side does not conform to the Compact Disc (CD) standard, playback on this product is not guaranteed.
