DISC LOADING/UNLOADING
PRECAUTIONS ON PLAYING CD SINGLES (8 cm/3-inch Discs)
1 When playing CD singles (8 cm/3-inch discs), always use the adapter for 8 cm/3-inch discs. Before loading the disc into the CD player, be sure to check that it is secured properly by the catches of the adapter. If discs have been inserted without the adapter by mistake, remove the disc immediately by pressing the EJECT button (0). If the disc does not come out with one press, press another time. 2 Use 8 cm/3-inch disc adapters labeled with the ' mark (recommended standard product). Do not use adapters which cause the disc to idle, nor adapters which are bent or curved. Insert straight

Label surface up

1. Set the rear-panel POWER switch to ON. Do not force a disc into the unit when the POWER switch is set to OFF as this may damage the disc and the unit. 2. Insert a disc. ÷ Hold the disc with label surface upwards, and insert into the front panel disc loading slot. ÷ When playing 8 cm discs, be sure to install an adaptor. ÷ Only one disc can be loaded at a time. Never attempt to load more than one disc at the same time, or attempt to load a second disc when one disc has already been loaded. ÷ When loading a disc, do not placing any twisting force on the disc, or try to force the disc into the slot. Also, do not attempt to interrupt or defeat the motion of the disc when the player begins to draw a disc into the slot or to eject a disc, since damage to the disc or player could occur.

3. Press the EJECT button (0) to remove the disc. ÷ When the EJECT button (0) is pressed, disc rotation stops and the disc is ejected from the loading slot. ÷ If the disc cannot be ejected with the EJECT button (0), insert a pin in the forced ejection hole on the front panel of the player. 7 Canceling eject command In the event the EJECT button (0) is pressed by mistake, if the PLAY/PAUSE (6) button is pressed immediately (before [EJECT] is displayed), the eject command will be canceled and playback will restart from the place immediately before the EJECT button (0) was pressed (during this time, sound output will be temporarily interrupted).

CAUTION:
Do not attempt to press a disc back into the slot when the [EJECT] indicator appears. Pressing a disc back into the slot while the [EJECT] indicator appears may cause the player to stop. In this case, press the EJECT button (0) again and wait until the [EJECT] indicator goes out before reinserting the disc.

Forced disc ejection
If the EJECT button (0) does not function or the disc cannot be removed, pushing the pin provided into the forced ejection hole on the front panel will enable the disc to be removed. When performing forced ejection, be sure to follow the precautions below. 1 Be sure to turn OFF the power of the CD player, and check that the disc has stopped rotating. It takes about 60 seconds for the disc to stop rotating after the power has been turned OFF. If forced ejection is performed while the disc is rotating; ÷ As the disc will be ejected outside the CD player rotating, it may hit your finger and cause injuries. ÷ As the disc will be rotating with the clamp unstable, it may be scratched. For the above reasons, never attempt to eject the disc forcibly while it is rotating. 2 Always use the pin provided (Do not use other objects). The provided pin is found in a groove in the bottom surface of the player. When the provided forced eject pin is inserted fully into the forced eject hole on the front panel, the loaded disc is ejected about 5-10 mm from the loading slot, making it possible to remove it by hand.
