CD CARE TIPS

Even though a compact disc is very durable, treat the CD surface with care. We recommend the following precautions:

•Do not place anything but a CD in the disc tray. This can damage the drive mechanism.

•Do not write on either side of the CD, particularly the non-label

10

side. (Signals are read from the non-label side.)

•Do not store CDs in high-tempera- ture, high-humidity locations. The CDs might warp.

•Keep the CD dry. A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser beam’s focus.

•Always handle a CD by the edges to avoid fingerprints and always keep it in its protective case or sleeve when it is not in use. Fin- gerprints and scratches on the CD’s surface can prevent the laser beam from correctly reading the digital information. To clean the CD surface, use a CD Cleaner Kit (such as Cat. No. 42-116).

•If you move the player from a very cold room to a warmer one, mois- ture can condense on the pickup lens, preventing proper disc play. If this happens, turn the CD player off then wait 30 minutes before attempting to operate it again.
