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 lifting 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
isto 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 sun light, heating implements and high temperatures.
3. Do not bend the disc.
1. Avoid serious scratches 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 irrepairably 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.
HANDLING THE DISC
A. Remove the CD from the Disc tray of your unit, if it is not going to be used for a long period.
B. Keep the disc in a disc case when storing.
C. 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.
3.High humidity.
