Handling Compact Discs
Inserting a CD
This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing the
identification logo below. Other discs may not conform to
the CD standard and may not play properly.
• Dirty, scratched or warped disc may cause skipping or noise.
• Handle the disc only by the edges. To keep clean, do not
touch its surface.
• Discs should be stored in their cases after use to avoid
serious scratches.
• Do not expose disc to direct sunlight, high humidity, high
temperatures or dust etc. Prolonged exposure to extreme
temperatures can warp the disc.
• Do not stick or write anything on either side of disc. Sharp
writing instruments, or the inks used in some felt tip pens,
may damage its surface.
Cleaning Disc
• Finger prints should be carefully wiped from the surface of
disc with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs
have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently
wiping them with a soft cloth should remove most particles.
Wipe in a straight motion from the center to the edge.
• Never use thinner, benzine, record cleaner or anti-static spray
on a compact disc as they can damage its plastic surface.
