How to handle CDs

When storing a CD into its case, gently insert the CD around the center holder (with the printed surface facing up).

•Make sure to store CDs into the cases after use.

To keep CDs clean

A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

To play new CDs

New CDs may have some rough spots around the inner and outer edges. If such a CD is used, this unit may reject the CD.

To remove these rough spots, rub the edges with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

About mistracking:

Mistracking may result from driving on extremely rough roads. This does not damage the unit and the CD, but will be annoying.

We recommend that you stop CD play while

Moisture condensation

You can play back your original CD-Rs on this receiver.

•Before playing back CD-Rs, read their instructions or cautions carefully.
