Tips on data storage media!Do not attach labels of any type to the
CD. They may become detached and
damage the drive.
Your CD drive has been designed to
play CDs which correspond to the IEC
60908 standard. Therefore only CDs
not exceeding a thickness of 1.3 mm
can be used.
If you insert thicker data carriers, e.g.
ones that have data on both sides (one
side with DVD data, the other side with
audio data), they cannot be ejected
and will damage the drive.
Do not play single-CDs (80 mm) with an
adapter. Only use 12 cm diameter CDs.
