INTRODUCTION
❒
do not expose CDs to direct sunlight,
high temperatures or moisture for long
periods;
❒
do not stick labels on the CD surface or
write on the recorded surface with pen-
cils or pens;
❒
do not use CDs that are very scratched,
flawed, distorted, etc. Using discs like
these will result in malfunctions or dam-
age to the player;
❒
the use of original CD media is required
for the best quality audio production.
Correct operation is not guaranteed
when CD-R/RW media are used that
were not correctly burned and/or with
a maximum capacity above 650 Mb;
❒
do not use commercially available pro-
tective sheets for CDs or discs, with
stabilisers, etc. as they could get stuck
in the internal mechanism and damage
the disc;
❒
if a copy-protected CD is used, it may
take a few seconds before the system
starts to play it. The CD player cannot
be guaranteed to play all protected
discs. The fact that the CD is protect-
ed from being copied is often shown in
very small letters or is difficult to read
on the actual CD cover where it may
be, for example, “COPY CONTROL”,
“COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS CD CAN-
NOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC”, or
it may be identified through the use of
symbols, such as, for example:
CDs
The presence of dirt, scratches or distor-
tions on the CDs could cause skipping
while it is playing and poor sound quality.
For optimal playback conditions, follow
these guidelines:
❒
only use branded CDs:
❒
clean every CD thoroughly removing
any fingermarks or dust using a soft
cloth. Hold CDs by the outside and clean
them from the middle outwards;
❒
never use chemicals (e.g. antistatics or
thinners or sprays) for cleaning as they
could damage the surface of the CDs;
❒
after listening to them place CDs back in
their boxes to avoid them from being
damaged;
❒
the CD player is capable of reading
most compression systems currently in
use (e.g.: LAME, BLADE, XING,
FRAUNHOFER) but, following the de-
velopment of these systems, the read-
ing of all compression formats is not
guaranteed.
