HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out,holding
it carefully by the edges.
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike
conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris so gently
wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles.Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside
of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
Never use chemicals such as record sprays antistatic sprays, benzene, or thinners to clean compact
discs. These chemicals can irreparably damage the disc's surface.
Discs should be returned to their cases after use. This avoids serious scratches that could cause the
Laser pickup to skip.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for extended periods. Long
exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
Do not stick paper or write anything with a ballpoint pen on the label side of the disc.
LOADING AND UNLOADING COMPACT DISCS
Press the STANDBY/ON button to turn the unit on.
Select the CD function by pressing the CD button.
Press the OPEN / CLOSE button on the CD door to open the CD compartment.
When the disc compartment has opened, remove a disc from its case and place it carefully in the disc
compartment with the label side facing up.
Close the disc compartment by pressing the OPEN / CLOSE button. When the compartment is fully
closed, the disc will start turning automatically. The total number of tracks will appear on the CD display.
CAUTION
Do not put anything except a compact disc into the compartment. Foreign objects can damage the mec-
hanism.
Keep the disc compartment closed when not in use to prevent dirt and dust from entering the mechanism.
Never place more than one disc into the disc compartment at any time. If the disc is correctly loaded, the
total number of tracks on the disc will be displayed.
Notes:after the disc compartment is fully closed, the disc information may not appear on the display. This
means that the disc is improperly loaded(most likely it is upside down). To check, open the disc compa-
rtment again and reload the disc.
