CDs
The presence of dirt, scratches or distortions on the
CDs may cause skipping while it is playing and poor
sound quality. For optimal playback conditions, follow
these guidelines:
❒
only use CDs with the following mark;
RADIO
223
❒
clean every CD thoroughly removing any fingermarks
or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs by the
circumference and clean them from the centre
towards the edge;
❒
never use chemicals (e.g. antistatics or thinners or
sprays) for cleaning as they may damage the surface of
the CDs;
❒
after listening place CDs back in their boxes to avoid
them from being damaged;
❒
do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high
temperatures or moisture for long periods;
❒
do not stick labels on the CD surface or write on the
recorded surface with pencils or pens.
❒
do not use CDs that are very scratched, flawed,
distorted, etc. Using discs like these will result in
malfunctions or damage to the player;
❒
The use of original CD media is required for the best
quality audio production. Correct operation is not
guaranteed when CD-R/RW media are used that
were not correctly mastered and/or with a maximum
capacity above 650 Mb;
❒
Do not use commercially available protective sheets
for CDs or discs with stabilisers, etc. as they could
get stuck in the internal mechanism and damage the
disc;
❒
if a copy-protected CD is used, it may take a few
seconds before the system starts to reproduce it.
The CD player cannot be guaranteed to play all
protected discs. The fact that the CD is protected
from being copied is often shown in very small letters
or is just legible on the CD cover itself where it may,
for example, say “COPY CONTROL”, “COPY
PROTECTED”, “THIS CD CANNOT BE PLAYED
ON A PC/MAC”, or it may be identified through the
use of symbols, such as, for example:
❒
The CD player is capable of reading most
compression systems currently in use (e.g.: LAME,
BLADE, XING, FRAUNHOFER) but, following the
development of these systems, the reading of all
compression formats is not guaranteed.
