< Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side up.
(Compact discs can be played or recorded only on one side.)
< To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the
center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by
the edges.
How to remove the disc
< Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially (from
the center hole outward towards the outer edge) with a soft,
dry cloth:
< Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or
fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals
will do irreparable damage to the disc's plastic surface.
< Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust
and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to "skip."
< Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and
temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures will warp the disc.
< Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged.
Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing
mechanisms.
< CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of
heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important
that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight
will fall on them, and which is away from sources of heat
such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.
< Printable discs aren't recommended, as the label side might
be sticky and damage the unit.
< Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do
not use any protective coating spray.
< Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information
on the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen,
as this may cause damage to the recorded side.
< Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD
stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and
cause them to malfunction.
How to hold the disc
< Do not use irregular shape doscss (octagonal, heart shaped,
business card size, etc.). Discs of this sort can damage the
unit:
< If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a disc,
read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the
disc manufacturer directly.
