Notes on playing discs
Use the discs compatible with IEC standards such as the
CD with the logo (right) printed on it. You can also use
the CD-ROM containing MP3 audio data.
Do not play CD-ROMs intended for computer use or non-audio
compact discs. Doing so may cause high-pitched noises or other
unpredictable results that may damage speakers, amplifiers, and
other connected components.
Never use heart-shaped, octagonal, or other special shaped discs as
they may damage the internal mechanisms of the MB-S1.
■
Handling discs
Be careful not to touch the data side of the disc (the side that does
not have printing on it). Always hold discs by the edges or by using
the hole in the middle.
Never place labels or stickers on the data side or label side of the
discs. Also, do not write on the discs or allow them to become
scratched.
■
Cautions when using rented compact
discs
Do not use discs that have cellophane tape attached to them or
rental compact discs that have rental labels attached. If the tape is
sticking out or peeling off, the disc may not be able to be ejected
and the MB-S1 may become damaged.
■
Cleaning
Dirt and contaminants on discs can obstruct the pickup of the
signals and lead to deterioration the sound. When dirty, clean the
data side with a soft dry cloth, wiping from the inside of the disc
toward the outside.
If the dirt is excessive, soak the cloth in water, wring it out, and
then wipe the disc surface clean. Next, using a soft dry cloth, wipe
the moisture form the disc surface. Do not use conventional record
cleaners or antistatic agents. Also, never use benzene, thinners, or
other volatile agents as they may damage the disc surface.
Condensation
When moving the MB-S1 from a cold location to a hot location,
when quickly heating a cold location with a furnace, or other
similar situation, condensation may occur. This may not only
cause improper operation of the device, but may also damage
the discs and components. If condensation has occurred, turn on
the MB-S1 and leave it running for 1 to 2 hours. If you will not
use the MB-S1, then eject any disc inside.
■
Cautions for disc storage
Do not store discs in locations exposed to direct sunlight, near heat
emitting devices, and other locations of excessive heat, or locations
of extremely low temperatures. Also, always store discs properly in
their protective cases.
