Playing a CD

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

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

CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD will not play properly.
If the surface of the CD is soiled, seeCare of
Your CDs on page 239for more information.If there is no apparent damage, try a known
good CD.
Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught
in the CD player. If a CD is recorded on a
personal computer and a description label is
needed, try labeling the top of the recorded CD
with a marking pen.
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
