How to handle CDs
When handling a compact disc, do not touch the surface of the disc
(reflective silver side –– the side without the label).
Since compact discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If
a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the sound will not be
picked up correctly and, in addition, such a disc may cause the CD
player to malfunction.
Which compact discs can be used?
Many types of compact discs are sold for a variety of uses. The Video
CD Player can play the following compact discs:
• Video CD
foraudioand video (moving picture) reproduction,
including multiplex sound.
• Video CD with Playback Control function
featuring menu-type operation and super-fine still
pictures for audio and video (moving picture) re-
production, including multiplex sound.
• CD Graphics (CD-G)
for audio and video (still picture) reproduction,
including multiplex sound.
• Digital Audio CD, including single discs
for audio reproduction.
CDs you can't play back
DonotplaybackCD-ROMs,DVDs,orCD-isonthisequipment. Doing
so may generate a noise which can damage your speakers.
Using the remote control
The remote control is ready to use when its batteries are installed
properly.
To use it, point its infrared light-emitting window toward the display
window of the player and press a button. The operating range of the
remote control is up to about seven meters in front of the player and
within about 30 degrees to each side –– with nothing between the
remote control and the player interrupting the beam path.
If pressing a button on the remote control does not produce any
response, check to make sure it is pointed correctly and try again. If it
still does not function, check the batteries.
Care and handling of
compact discs
GENERAL INFORMATION
Even on label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on
its surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled one on
topofanotherwithouttheirprotectivecases,theycanbedamaged. Do
notputdiscsinalocationwheretheymaybeexposedtodirectsunlight,
or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving
discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
Iftherearefingerprintsorotherdirtadheringtoadisc,wipeitwithasoft
dry cloth, moving from the center outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water.
Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.
CAUTION
Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled. This is
sometimesdueto thedisc.(Itmaynotbeuptoindustrystandards.)
These symptom are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of
