Compact Disc - Alfa Romeo 159 Owner's Manual

Compact Disc

Remember that dirt, marks or distortion on
Compact Disc can cause skipping. To obtain
optimum playing conditions we give the fol-
lowing advice:
❒ Only use Compact Discs which have the
following brand:
❒ Carefully clean all Compact Discs of fin-
gerprints and dust using a soft cloth. Sup-
port Compact Discs from the outer cir-
cumference and clean from the centre out-
wards;
296
❒ Never use chemical products for cleaning
(e.g.: spray cans, antistatic or thinners) as
they might damage the surface of Com-
pact Discs;
❒ After use, put Compact Discs back in their
container, to avoid marks or scratches that
may cause skipping when playing;
❒ Do not expose Compact Discs to direct sun-
light, high temperatures or damp for pro-
longed lengths of time to prevent them
from bending;
❒ Do not stick labels or write on the record-
ed surface of Compact Discs.
To remove a Compact Disc from its container,
press the centre and raise the disc careful-
ly, holding it by the outer circumference.
Always hold Compact Discs by the outer cir-
cumference. Never touch the surface.
To remove fingerprints and dust, use a soft
cloth starting from the centre of the Com-
pact Disc outwards.
Do not use highly scratched, cracked, or dis-
torted discs, etc. The use of these discs will
involve malfunctioning or damage to the
player.
For optimal playing use original CDs only.
Regular operation is not guaranteed if using
R/RW CDs not properly mastered and/or
CDs with max. capacity higher than 650
MB.
IMPORTANT Do not use the protective sheets
for CD in commerce or discs with stabilisers,
etc. as they might get stuck in the internal
mechanism and damage the disc.
