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 rough- ness from the edge of the disc.

Roughness

Never stick labels on the surface of the com- pact disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.

Never play a compact disc with any cello- phane 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.

Do not use compact discs that have large scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of such discs may cause misoperation or damage.

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 protec- tion sheets or discs equipped with stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc or cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.

Cleaning

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

Do not use any solvents, such as commer- cially 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.
