uct. Never remove the cover from the

cover can lead to serious eye injury from
invisible laser beams.

later can become detached during play-
back due to the development of heat, caus-
ing irreparable damage to the device.<
To prevent CDs from being copied
illegally, they are often provided with
copy protection by the manufacturer.
Under certain circumstances this can pre-
vent or restrict the playing of CDs on your
CD player. In this case please contact the
CD dealer or manufacturer.<
If you play self-recorded audio CDs, faults,
e.g. drop-outs, can occur, or the CD is not
played at all.

player can condense on the laser's
scan lens and prevent it from reading the
CD.<
