Precautions

Handling CDs

Handling

•When holding the CD, do not touch the recorded side (the side without the label).

•Do not attach any paper or seals onto the CD.

•The CDP-D12 can play round CDs only. Playing irregularly shaped CDs such as star-shaped or heart- shaped CDs may damage the player.

•Do not use CDs on which labels or stickers have been attached, for example by second-hand CD or CD rental shops.

Preservation

•Do not leave CDs in a place subject to high temperature or high humidity, especially places exposed to direct sunlight.

•Store CDs in their case. CDs that are piled or stacked without cases may become deformed.

Cleaning

•Fingerprints or dust will affect the quality of the sound. Keep CDs clean.

•When cleaning a CD, wipe it with a soft cloth from the center outward.

•If the CD is extremely dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth lightly moistened with water, and then finish with a dry cloth.

•Do not use solvents such as benzene, record cleaner, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Notes on CD-R/CD-RW playback

Discs recorded on a CD-R/CD-RW drive may not play back due to scratches, dirt, recording conditions, or properties of the drive. In addition, discs for which the recording process was not finalized cannot be played back.
