Handling of compact discs

Observe the following:

Always place compact discs in the tray with their label facing upward (compact discs can only be played on one side).

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

Finger marks and dust should be carefully wiped oﬀ the disc’s re- corded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has no grooves to collect dust and microscopic de- bris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most parti- cles.

Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the

disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no ef- fect on reproduction quality.

Never use such chemicals as re- cord sprays, antistatic sprays or ﬂuid, benzine or thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.

Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that could cause the la- ser pickup to “skip”.

Don’t expose discs to direct sun- light or high humidity and tem- perature for extended periods. Long exposure to high tempera- ture can warp the disc.

Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using noncircular promo- tional, etc. discs.

To keep the laser pickups clean, do not touch them. For the same rea- son, do not leave the disc tray open unnecessarily.

The CD-BT1MKII cannot play unﬁnalized CD-R/RW discs. In addition, some ﬁnalized CD-R/ RW discs may be unplayable on the CD-BT1MKII.
