scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of

such discs may cause misoperation or damage.

 

Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other specially shaped compact discs.

Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode may not be usable.

Handling

Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and CD-RW discs are both easily affected by high temperature and humidity and some of CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be played. Therefore, do not leave them for a long time in the car.

• New discs may have some roughness

around the edges. If such discs are used, the player may not work or the sound

may skip. Use a ball-

point pen or the like

to remove any roughness from the edge of the disc.

Never stick labels on the surface of the compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.

Never play a compact disc with any cellophane tape or other glue on it or with peeling off marks. If you try to play such a compact disc, you may not be able to get it back out of the CD player or it may damage the CD player.

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

Do not use commercially available CD protection sheets or discs equipped with stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc or cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.

Storage

Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight or any heat source.

Do not expose compact discs to excess humidity or dust.

Do not expose compact discs to direct heat from heaters.

Cleaning

To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center of the compact disc to the circumference.

Do not use any solvents, such as commercially available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to clean compact discs.

After using special compact disc cleaner, let the compact disc dry off well before playing it.

LCD Screen

In extreme cold, the screen movement may slow down and the screen may darken, but this is normal. The screen will recover when it returns to normal temperature.
