HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
This unit has been designed to play compact discs bearing the
identification logo shown at the left. No other discs can be played.
1. Open a disc case by holding the bottom left and right sides
with the right hand, and then lighting the top cover with the
left hand.
2. Press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out
carefully.
3. Hold by the edges without touching the recording surface.
(Rainbow lighting side is to play).
1. Foreign objects, dust and finger prints should
be carefully wiped off in a straight motion from the inside to
the out side of the recorded side of the disc with a soft cloth
before use.
2. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, heating implements
and high temperatures.
3. Do not bend the disc.
1. Avoid serious scratched that could cause the laser pickup to
skip
2. Do not attempt to widen the center hole in the disc. It will
result in damage to the disc.
3. Do not write anything with a ballpoint pen or pencil on the
disc (level) surface.
1. Never use chemicals such as record sprays,
antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean
compact discs. Such chemicals would irreparably damage
the disc's plastic surface.
2. If a disc is suddenly removed from a cold to a hot area, it
will not be played due to moisture on the disc surface. So
wipe off with a soft cloth. Do not use a hair dryer to dry
moisture on discs.
•Remove the CD from the Disc tray of your unit, if it is not going to be used
for a long period.
•Keep the disc in a disc case when storing.
•Do not store the disc where it may be exposed to:
1. Direct sunlight for a long time.
2. High temperatures via any heating implements.
