❒Never use CDs that are very scratched, cracked, distorted, etc.
Their use could cause damage to the player or make it
malfunction;
❒to achieve the best quality audio reproduction we recommend
the use of original CD media. Correct operation is not
guaranteed when CD-R/RW media are used that were not
correctly burnt and/or with a maximum capacity above 650
Mb;
❒do not use commercially available protective sheets for CDs or
discs with stabilisers as they could get stuck in the internal
mechanism and damage the disc;
❒if a copy-protected CD is used, it may take a few seconds before
the system starts to play it. The CD player cannot be guaranteed
to play all protected discs. The presence of copy protection is
often indicated in small or difficult to read letters on the cover of
the CD; like, for example, "COPY CONTROL", "COPY
PROTECTED", "THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC"
or may be identified through the use of symbols, such as, for
example:❒The CD player is able to read most of the compression systems
currently on the market (e.g.:LAME, BLADE, XING,
FRAUNHOFER) but as these systems are continually evolving,
playback of all compression formats is not guaranteed.
