ÖWhen holding a CD-R, CD-RW or CD disc, be careful not to leave fingerprints, dirt or a scratches on the signal-recording side. Hold the disc by placing your fingers on the edge or across the center hole and edge. A disc with fingerprints, dirt or scratches can sometimes become unusable for recording or playback.

ÖBe careful not to scratch the label side. A scratched disc can sometimes become unusable for recording or playback.

ÖThe disc rotates at a high speed inside the player. Do not attempt to use a disc that is cracked or extremely warped.

CDo not play CDs with special shapes

ÖDo not play CDs that have special shapes, such as a heart- shape, as it may cause this unit to malfunction.

DDisc maintenance

ÖWhen a recorded disc is marked with a fingerprint or dust it is possible for the replay signal quality to be degraded. Therefore always try to keep the disc surface clean. Should cleaning be required, use a soft cloth either dry or moistened with a little alcohol, and wipe lightly from the center of the disc towards the disc edge.

ÖAn optional disc cleaning kit is recommended.

ÖDo not use a vinyl record cleaning spray or anti-static cleaning materials. Also ensure that volatile chemicals such as benzene or cellulose thinners are not spilt on discs, for these chemicals can permanently damage the disc surface.

EDisc storage

ÖCD-R, CD-RW and CD discs are made of plastic, and care should be taken to ensure they do not get warped or bent. Always store discs in cases and stand the case upright. Avoid storing discs in direct sunlight, extremely high or low temperatures or high humidity. It is recommended never to leave a disc on a car seat in sunlight, as the temperature can become extremely high.

ÖBe sure to read the instructions supplied with the disc.

ÖDo not stick labels on the back of the disc unless they are supplied specifically for CD labelling. Ensure the label surface does not get scratched or damaged.

Use only a pen specifically designed for writing on CD’s as other pens could damage the disk. Never use any writing instrument with a hard point (ballpoint pen, pencil etc.) as they will damage the disc.
