Remove the CD from its case by
holding it at the edges while pre.ss-
ing the case’s center hole lightly.
Do not touch the .shiny surface of
the CD, or bend the CD.
Put the CD back in its case after
use to prevent warping.

temperature extremes, and moisture.
A dirty CD may not play cor­
rectly. If a CD does become dirty,
wipe it with a .soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.

• Do not use any solvent (for example, con­
ventional record cleaner, spray thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean a CD.

• Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow
dust off the lens.
If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe

Moisture Condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens
inside the System in the following
cases:
