Storage precautions

ppDiscs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”

ppDo not expose discs to direct sunlight or high temperature and humidity for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp discs.

ppCD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in locations where they will be exposed to direct sunlight. They should also be kept away from sources of heat, such as radiators and heat-generating electrical devices.

ppDirt on discs can lower the sound quality, so clean them and always store them in a clean state.

CAUTION

ppDo not play any disc that is warped, deformed or dam- aged. Playing such discs could cause irreparable harm to the playing mechanisms.

ppWhile printable CD-R and CD-RW discs utilizing modern printing technologies are generally acceptable, older systems that use adhesives to attach paper type labels to the disc surface are not recommended.

ppDo not stick paper or protective sheets on discs and do not use any protective coating sprays.

ppNever use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.

ppDo not use irregularly shaped discs (octagonal, heart- shaped, business card size, etc.). Such CDs could damage the unit.

Maintenance

ppIf a disc becomes dirty, wipe its surface radially from the center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry cloth.

ppNever clean discs using chemicals such as record sprays,

 

antistatic sprays and fluids, and thinner. Such chemicals

 

will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.

 

If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a

disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc or contact
