CD CARE TIPS

Even though a compact disc is very durable, treat the CD surface with care. We recommend the following precautions:

•Do not place anything but a CD in the disc tray. This can damage the drive mechanism.

•Do not write on either side of the CD, particularly the non-label side. (Signals are read from the non-label side.)

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

•Keep CDs dry. A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser beam’s focus.

•Always handle a CD by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the CD and always keep it in its pro- tective case or sleeve when not in use. Fingerprints and scratches on the CD’s surface can prevent the laser beam from correctly reading the digital information. To clean the CD surface, use a CD Cleaner Kit (such as Cat. No. 42- 225).

•If you move the player from a cold place to a warmer one, moisture might condense on the pickup lens, preventing proper disc play. If this happens, wait 2 hours before attempting to operate it again.
