COMPACT DISCS
HANDLING THE DISCS
This unit has been designed to play Compact
Discs bearing the identification logo shown
below. DVD discs cannot be played.
uAlways place the CD in the disc tray with
the label facing up. CDs can only be
played on one side.
uTo remove a CD from its storage case,
press down on the centre of the case and
lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the
edges.
uFingerprints and dust should be carefully
wiped off the CD's signal surface (glossy
side) with a soft dry cloth. Unlike a
conventional record, the CD has no
grooves to collect dust and microscopic
debris, so gently wiping it with a soft dry
cloth should remove most particles.
uWipe the disc in a straight motion from the
inside out. Small dust particles and stains
will have absolutely no effect on
reproduction quality.
uNever use chemicals such as record
sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzine
or thinners to clean a compact disc. Such
chemicals would irreparably damage the
surface.
uStore the discs in their cases when not in
use to avoid serious scratches which could
cause the laser pickup to skip.
uDo not expose the discs to direct sunlight,
high humidity, or high temperatures for
extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures can warp the discs.
uDo not stick paper or write anything with a
ballpoint pen on the disc surface.
LOADING DISCS
1. Press the POWER switch. (If the disc tray is
already open, it will close automatically)
2. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button. The disc

3. When the disc tray has opened fully,
remove a normal size (12 cm) disc from its
case and place it carefully in the tray with
the label facing up. To play an 8 cm single
place it in the inner groove of the tray with
the label facing up.
NOTE: Only load one disc at a time. The
side opposite the label is the signal side.
Handle the disc carefully to avoid leaving
fingerprints on its surface.
