CD AND CD PLAYER CARE TIPS

Although a CD is very durable, you should handle it with care. We recom- mend the following precautions.

•Keep the CD in its protective case or sleeve when you are not playing it.

•Keep the CD dry. A drop of moisture can act as a lens and affect the laser beam’s focus. If it gets wet, wipe the CD with a soft, dry cloth before play- ing it.

•Do not write on either side of a CD, especially the non-label side.

•Keep the CD clean. Handle the CD by its edge to avoid fingerprints and surface scratches, which can pre- vent the laser from accurately read- ing the CD. To clean the surface, use a CD Cleaner Kit (such as Cat. No. 42-226) or Scratch ’n Fix (Cat. No.

42-127).

•Do not store CDs in high-tempera- ture, high-humidity locations.

If the CD-3321 is subjected to a sudden shock or jolt during play, the CD’s rota- tion speed might suddenly change, and the music might be briefly interrupted or the current track might start over. This is not a malfunction.
