About Discs
Only handle discs by the edge. Do not touch the silver disc surface. If a disc requires cleaning, wipe it with a soft cleaning
cloth moving from the centre outwards. Do not wipe the disc in a circular motion. When not using discs, store them in a case.
Never place the disc on a surface out of it’s case as the disc will be permanently damaged. A disc damaged by marks and
scratches may no longer play. Even if it does play, the audio quality may be degraded.
Red Book Standard
Stream III is a ‘Red Book' standard CD player and as such will play any genuine red-book disc. These discs will normally carry
the Compact Disc logo. Some discs have been manufactured using various forms of copy protection such as Cactus and
the Sony BMG system. These discs, which do not normally carry the registered logo, may produce erratic behaviour when
played in Stream III and have been the subject of much controversy. More information on this subject and listings of corrupt
titles are available on various websites. Even if a copy protected disc does play, the audio quality may be compromised. Try
to avoid purchasing this type of disc wherever possible.
Discs That Cannot Be Played:
Stream III is designed to play audio CDs only. CD-R discs optimised for audio use and
some ‘silver’ CD-R discs may also play correctly. Non-silver CD-R discs will not play. The player will play all discs fully
conforming to the Philips red book standard but may not play discs with some types of copy protection.
