Handling Compact Discs
Use only compact discs bearing the
or
mark.
Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other
specially shaped compact discs.
Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode may
not be usable.
Handling
• Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and
CD-RW discs are easily affected by high
temperature and humidity. Prolonged
exposure to high heat and humidity may make
the discs unplayable. Therefore, do not leave
them for a long time in the boat.
• New discs may
have rough
edges. If such
discs are used,
the player may
not work, or the
sound may skip.
Use a ball-point
pen or the like to
remove any
roughness from the edge of the disc.
• Never stick labels on the surface of the
compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil
or pen.
• Never play a compact disc with any cellophane
tape or other glue on it or with peeling off
marks. If you try to play such a compact disc,
you may not be able to get it back out of the CD
player or it may damage the CD player.
• Do not use compact discs that have large
scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of
such discs may cause malfunction or damage.
• To remove a compact disc from its storage
case, press down on the center of the case and
lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the
edges.
• Do not use commercially available CD
protection sheets or discs equipped with
stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc or
cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.
Storage
• Do not expose compact discs to direct sunlight
or any heat source.
• Do not expose compact discs to excess
humidity or dust.
• Do not expose compact discs to direct heat
from heaters.
Cleaning
• To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center
of the compact disc to the circumference.
• Do not use any solvents, such as commercially
available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner
to clean compact discs.
• After using special compact disc cleaner, let
the compact disc dry off well before playing it.
