difficulty in nding tracks, and/or difficulty in loading
and ejecting. If these problems occur, check the

needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD
with a marking pen instead.Notice:If you add any label to a CD, insert
more than one CD into the slot at a time, or
attempt to play scratched or damaged CDs, you
could damage the CD player. When using the
CD player, use only CDs in good condition
without any label, load one CD at a time, and
