Handling Compact discs

Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched or warped can cause the sound to skip and the unit to operate incorrectly, resulting in worsened sound quality. Take the following precautions to prevent your CDs from getting scratched or damaged.

Handling CDs

•Do not touch the recorded side of the CD (i.e., the side opposite the label) when holding it.

Cleaning CDs

If a CD has become dirty, wipe it off gently using a commercially available cleaning cloth or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the centre of the disc and moving outward. Do not clean CDs with conventional record cleaners, anti- static formulas, or chemicals such as paint thinner or benzene.

Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot

Do not use commercially available CD accessories that can be loaded into the CD slot, such as stabilisers, protective sheets, or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the unit to malfunction.

Removing the CD

Only remove the CD from the machine in a horizontal direction. You may damage the surface of the CD if you try pulling it down as it ejects.

•Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.

Storing CDs

•Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct sunlight – such as a car seat or above the fascia panel (dashboard) – or other hot places.

•Remove CDs from the unit when not listening to them for a whilst, and put them back in their cases. Do not stack CDs that have been removed from their cases or prop them against something.

Checking New CDs for Burrs

When playing a new CD for the first time, check that there are not any burrs stuck to the perimeter of the disc or in the central hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not load properly or may skip whilst playing. Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a similar utensil.
