The CD player can play the smaller 3 inch (8 cm)
single CDs with an adapter ring. Full-size CDs and

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

and DVDs on page 302for more information.

than one CD is inserted into the slot at a
time, or an attempt is made to play scratched
or damaged CDs, the CD player could be
damaged. While using the CD player, use
