Handling compact discs
Dirty, scratched or warped discs may cause skip ping or noise.
Handle the disc only by the edges. To keep clean do not touch its surface.
Discs should be stored in their cases after use to avoid scratches.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperature or dust.
Prolonged exposure to extreme temperature can wrap the disc (such as leaving the discs in your
car during summertime).
Do not stick or write anything on either side of disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the inks used
in some felt-tip pens, may damage its surface.
DO NOT touch the unlabeled side.
DO NOT attach any seal, label or data protection sheet to either side of a disc.
This unit cannot play 3-inch ( 8cm ) CDs.
Never insert a 3-inch CD contained in the adapter or an irregularly shaped CD. The unit may not
be able to eject it, resulting in a malfunction.
Cleaning
1. Cleaning the cabinet
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.
2. Cleaning discs
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.
