How to operate the CD player

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 the disc. Do not 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 damage to the deck.

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

Rough Edges

Flakes

•You may notice that some brand new discs are rough around the center hole or outside edge. Remove the rough edges with the side of a ballpoint pen, etc. Rough edges may prevent proper loading in the deck. Flakes from the rough edges may also stick to the recorded surface and interfere with playback.
