HANDLING THE DISCS
This unit has been designed to play Compact Discs bearing the identification logo shown below. DVD discs cannot be played.
uAlways place the CD in the disc tray with the label facing up. CD’s can only be played on one side.
uTo remove a CD from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the
edges.
uFingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the CD's signal surface (glossy side) with a soft dry cloth. Unlike a conventional record, the CD has no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping it with a soft dry cloth should remove most particles.
uWipe the disc in a straight motion from the inside out. Small dust particles and stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
uNever use chemicals such as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzine or thinners to clean a compact disc. Such chemicals would irreparably damage the surface.
uStore the discs in their cases when not in use to avoid serious scratches which could cause the laser pickup to skip.
uDo not expose the discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the discs.
uDo not stick paper or write anything with a ballpoint pen on the disc surface.
