Caution
z
Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or
damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable
harm to the playing mechanisms.
z
Printable discs are not recommended, as the label
side might be sticky and damage the unit.
z
Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs
and do not use any protective coating spray.
z
Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the in
formation on the label side. Never use a ball-point
or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to
the recorded side.
z
Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially
available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage
the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.
z
Do not use irregular shape discs (octagonal, heart
shaped, business card size, etc.). Discs of this sort

Maintenance
z
Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface
radially (from the center hole outward towards the
outer edge) with a soft, dry cloth.
z
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.
Storage precautions
z
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to
avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to “skip”.
z
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high
humidity and temperature for extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the
disc.
z
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
away from sources of heat such as radiators or
heat-generating electrical devices.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a
disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or
contact the disc manufacturer.
