Avoid scratches, fingerprints and dust
on the CDs.


Do not write on CDs or apply any labels
or other material to them.

Information on MP3 data carriers
iCD media, CD burning software and
CD writers are available in great vari-
ety. Due to this variety, it cannot be
guaranteed that the CD changer will be
able to play every user-written CD.
The burning process can lead to data
errors and aging of the medium may re-
sult in data loss. Therefore, the
CD changer may be restricted in its
a bi li ty to p la y MP3 da ta c a rri ers ; it m a y
play them with reduced sound quality,
or it ma y not b e a bl e t o pla y them a t a ll .
