Operating precautions

About compact discs

The signal recorded on a compact disc is read by a laser beam, so nothing touches the disc surface. A scratch on the recorded surface or a badly warped disc may cause deteriorated sound quality or intermittent playback. Observe the following precautions to ensure high quality sound performance:

Do not leave an ejected disc in the disc slot for very long; the disc may warp.

Discs should be stored in their cases and kept away from high temperature and humidity.

Do not stick a piece of paper or tape on, nor write on or scratch either side of a disc.

• Discs spin at a high speed inside the deck. Keep cracked or warped discs out of the player to avoid damaging it.

• Avoid touching the recorded surface when handling a disc; handle discs by their edges.
