CD CARE TIPS

Do not place anything but a CD in the disc compartment. Doing so can damage the drive mechanism.

During playback, a severe shock or jolt could make the CD's rotation speed change suddenly and pro- duce some noise. This is not a mal- function.

Always handle a CD by its edges and keep it in its protective case or sleeve when it is not in use. Finger- prints and scratches on the CD's surface can prevent the laser beam from correctly reading the digital information. To clean the CD, use a CD cleaner kit.

A scratch on the CD's surface can make the CD skip or stop playing. If the CD gets scratched, use RadioShack Scratch ’n Fix to repair the scratch.

Keep CDs dry. A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser beam focus.
