Handling Compact discs
Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched
or warped can cause the sound to
skip and the unit to operate
incorrectly, resulting in worsened
sound quality. Take the following
precautions to prevent your CDs from
getting scratched or damaged.
Handling CDs
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD
(i.e., the side opposite the label) when
holding it.
• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.
Storing CDs
• Do not store CDs in areas exposed to direct
sunlight – such as a car seat or above the
fascia panel (dashboard) – or other hot
places.
• Remove CDs from the unit when not
listening to them for a whilst, and put them
back in their cases. Do not stack CDs that
have been removed from their cases or prop
them against something.
Cleaning CDs
If a CD has become dirty, wipe it off gently
using a commercially available cleaning cloth
or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the
centre of the disc and moving outward. Do
not clean CDs with conventional record
cleaners, anti- static formulas, or chemicals
such as paint thinner or benzene.
Checking New CDs for Burrs
When playing a new CD for the first time,
check that there are not any burrs stuck to
the perimeter of the disc or in the central
hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not
load properly or may skip whilst playing.
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a
similar utensil.
Do Not Load CD Accessories in Slot
Do not use commercially available CD
accessories that can be loaded into the CD
slot, such as stabilisers, protective sheets,
or CD cleaning discs, since they can cause
the unit to malfunction.
Removing the CD
Only remove the CD from the machine in a
horizontal direction. You may damage the
surface of the CD if you try pulling it down
as it ejects.
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs
• Be sure to use round shape CDs only for
this unit and do not use any special shape
CDs. Use of special shape CDs may cause
the unit to malfunction.
• Be sure to use CDs with disc mark
only for this unit.
Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the
Labelled Side
Do not use the CD with the label sticker
stuck on it.
Using such a CD may cause the CD to be
deformed and the sticker to peel off,
resulting in malfunction of the unit.
