Discs
Discs which can be played on this unit
• Conventional audio CDs bearing the COMPACT DISC
DIGITAL AUDIO logo on the label:
• Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs
• MP3 CDs
Note:
<
Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of
the recording, some CD-R/CD-RW discs may not be playable.
<
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection system, have
been released form several record companies in an attempt
to protect the copyright. Since some of these discs do not
comply with the CD specifications, they may not be playable
on the CD-355.
<
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 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 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 CDs with an irregular shape (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.
