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 both easily affected by high
temperature and humidity and some of CD-R
and CD-RW discs may not be played. Therefore,
do not leave them for a long time in the car.
•New discs may have some roughness around
the 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 re-
move 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 cello-
phane 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 misoperation 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 protec-
tion 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 hu-
midity 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.
