CD CARE TIPS
• If you move the player from a very cold room to a warmer one, moisture
can condense on the pickup lens, preventing proper CD play. If this hap-
pens, wait 30 minutes before resuming play.
• Do not place anything but a CD in the disc tray. This can damage the
drive mechanism.
• During play, a severe shock or jolt could make the CD’s rotation speed
change suddenly and produce some noise. This is not a malfunction.
• Always handle a CD by the edges and keep it in its protective case or
sleeve when it is not in use. Fingerprints and scratches on the CD’s sur-
face can prevent the laser beam from correctly reading the digital informa-
tion. To clean the CD, use a CD cleaner kit (RadioShack Cat. No. 42-226).
• A scratch on the CD’s surface can make the CD skip or stop playing. If the
CD gets scratched, use Scratch ’n Fix (RadioShack Cat. No. 42-127) to
repair the scratch.
• Keep CDs dry. A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser beam
focus.
