Hints

CD/DVD player and changer

officially designated Class 1 laser products. Do
not operate if the cover is damaged; otherwise,

Use of CDs/DVDs
▷ Do not use self-recorded CDs/DVDs
with labels applied, as these can be‐

to heat buildup and can cause irrep‐

▷ Only use round CDs/DVDs with a standard
diameter of 4.7 in/12 cm and do not play
CDs/DVDs with an adapter, e.g., single
CDs; otherwise, the CDs or the adapter

▷ Possible reasons for malfunctions with
home-recorded CDs/DVDs are inconsis‐

DVD.

with a pen intended for this purpose.
Damage
▷ Avoid fingerprints, dust, scratches and
