General Information
Care and handling of compact discs
How to handle CDs
When handling a compact disc, do not touch the surface of the
disc (reflective silver side –– the side without the label).
Since compact discs are made of plastic, they are easily
damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the
sound will not be picked up correctly and, in addition, such a disc
may cause the CD player to malfunction.
Even on label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive
on its surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled
one on top of another without their protective cases, they can be
damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be
exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or
temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe it
with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with
water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-
static agents.
CAUTION
Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled.
This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to
industry standards.)
These symptom are caused by the discs, not by the malfunc-
tion of the Player.
Which compact discs can be used?
Many types of compact discs are sold for a variety of uses. The
Video CD Player can play the following compact discs:
Video CD
for audio and video (moving picture) repro-
duction, including multiplex sound.
Video CD with Playback Control function
featuring menu-type operation and super-
fine still pictures for audio and video (moving
picture) reproduction, including multiplex
sound.
CD Graphics (CD-G)
for audio and video (still picture) reproduc-
tion, including multiplex sound.
Digital Audio CD, including single discs
for audio reproduction.
CDs you can't play back
Do not play back CD-ROMs on this equipment. Doing so may
generate a noise which can damage your speakers.
Using the remote control
The remote control is ready to use when its batteries are
installed properly.
To use it, point its infrared light-emitting window toward the
display window of the player and press a button. The operating
range of the remote control is up to about seven meters in front
of the player and within about 30 degrees to each side –– with
nothing between the remote control and the player interrupting
the beam path.
If pressing a button on the remote control does not produce any
response, check to make sure it is pointed correctly and try
again. If it still does not function, check the batteries.
