and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:

WEP
• Do not use solvents such as benzine,
thinner, commercially available disc/
lens cleaners, or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
• If you have printed the disc’s label, dry
the label before playing.
WEP applies security to
communications to prevent outsiders
from intercepting communications or
intruding into your wireless network.
WEP is a legacy security technology that
enables older devices, which do not
support TKIP/AES, to be connected.
• Do not use the following discs.
– A lens cleaning disc.
– A disc that has a non-standard shape
(e.g., card, heart).
– A disc with a label or sticker on it.
– A disc that has cellophane tape or
sticker adhesive on it.
WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (TKIP)
TKIP is a security technology developed
to correct the deficiencies of WEP. TKIP
assures a higher security level than
WEP.
• Do not resurface the playing side of a
disc to remove surface scratches.
WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (AES)
AES is a security technology that uses an
advanced security method that is distinct
from WEP and TKIP.
AES assures a higher security level than
WEP or TKIP.
