cover is damaged. Operation without 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.<

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.

eter of 4.7 in/12 cm and do not play CDs
with an adapter, e.g. maxi CDs, as other-
wise the CDs or the adapter can jam and
