COMPACT DISCS

HANDLING THE DISCS

This unit has been designed to play Compact Discs bearing the identification logo shown below. DVD discs cannot be played.

Always place the CD in the disc tray with the label facing up. CD’s can only be played on one side.

To remove a CD from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

LOADING DISCS

1.Switch the power on at the back of the unit. Press any button on the front panel or remote handset to return from Standby.

2.Press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the front or DISC on the handset. The disc tray will open. If the disc tray gets jammed while opening, it will stop and close automatically.

3.When the disc tray has opened fully, take a normal size (12 cm) disc from its case and place it carefully in the tray with the label facing up. To play an 8 cm single place it in the inner groove of the tray with the label facing up.

NOTE: Only load one disc at a time. The side opposite the label is the signal side. Handle the disc carefully to avoid leaving fingerprints on its surface.

Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the CD's signal surface (glossy side) with a soft dry cloth. Unlike a conventional record, the CD has no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping it with a soft dry cloth should remove most particles.

Wipe the disc in a straight motion from the inside out. Small dust particles and stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.

Never use chemicals such as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzine or thinners to clean a compact disc. Such chemicals would irreparably damage the surface.

Store the discs in their cases when not in use to avoid serious scratches which could cause the laser pickup to skip.

Do not expose the discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the discs.

Do not stick paper or write anything with a ballpoint pen on the disc surface.

Disc Tray

4.To close the disc tray, press the OPEN/CLOSE button (DISC button on remote) again or gently push the tray in.

When the tray is fully closed, with a correctly loaded disc, the disc will start turning automatically and the TOC (table of contents) will be read. The disc will then stop and the TOC will be displayed, i.e. the total number of tracks on the disc and the total playing time of the disc. The CD player is now ready to play.

NOTE: If after you load the disc you press the PLAY button to close the tray, the disc will automatically start playing from the beginning of track one.
