Handling compact discs

Handling compact discs

Do not insert anything other than a CD into the CD loading slot.
Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged discs as they may
cause skipping or noise damage the player.
Handle the disc only by the edges (as shown in the picture). To keep discs clean do not touch its surface.
Store discs in their cases when not in use.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperature or dust.
Prolonged exposure to extreme temperature (such as leaving the discs in your car during
summertime) can wrap a disc.
Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemicals to the surface of the discs.
Do not touch the recorded surface of the discs.
Use 12-cm CDs. Use only conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use shaped discs.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning the unit body
Fingerprints should be carefully wiped from the surface of disc with a soft cloth. Unlike
conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and macroscopic
dirt, so gently wiping them with a soft cloth should remove must panicles. Wipe in a
straight motion from the center to the edge.
Never use thinner benzine, record cleaner or anti static spray on a compact disc. Such chemicals can
damage its plastic surface.

Cleaning the unit body
Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dampen (not dropping wet) the cloth with a weak solution of
soapy water, and then wipe clean.
