Notes on Discs
A
This section shows you how to handle, clean, and store
discs.
<
Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label
side up. (Compact discs can be played or recorded
only on one side.)
<
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.
How to remove the disc
How to hold the disc
<
Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface
radially (from the center hole outward towards the
outer edge) with a soft, dry cloth :
<
Never use such chemicals as record sprays,
antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean
the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable
damage to the disc's plastic surface.
<
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to
avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to "skip."
<
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high
humidity and temperature for extended periods. Long
exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc.
<
Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or
damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable
harm to the playing mechanisms.
<
CD-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 a location
where direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is
away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-
generating electrical devices.
<
Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs aren't
recommended, as the label side might be sticky and
damage the unit.
<
Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs
and do not use any protective coating spray.
<
Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the
information on the label side. Never use a ball-point
or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the
recorded side.
<
Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available
CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the
mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.
<
Do not use irregular shape CDs (octagonal, heart
shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort
can damage the unit:
<
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of
a CD-R/CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied
with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer
directly.
