When you insert a disc, gently push it in
with the label side up. (The player will
automatically eject a disc if the label side
is down.) The compact disc player will
play from track 1 through the end of the
disc. Then it will play from track 1 again.

not insert a standard 12 cm (5 in.) disc
until ”DISC” disappears from the display.
NOTICE

disc singles⎯it could cause tracking
errors or interfere with the ejection of
compact discs.
