Handling of compact discs
The CD-160MKII has been designed for the playback
of CD-DA (standard audio) format discs and MP3 files
recorded on the discs using the ISO9660 format: In addi -
tion to ordinary 5-inch and 3-inch CDs.
•
Always place the compact discs in the trays with their
label facing upward.
•
To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center
of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it care -
fully by the edges.
•
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, ben -
zene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean
CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface.
It may cause CDs to become unplayable.
•
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid
dirt as well as serious scratches that could cause the
laser pickup to "skip."
•
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the non-
label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping, so keep
discs clean and store them in their cases when not being
played. To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with
a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge.
•
Keep discs away from direct sunlight, and places of
high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warping
could result.
•
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the
disc and do not use any protective coating spray.
Use of the remote control unit
•
Do not expose the infrared receiver (light receptive area
on the front panel) to direct sunlight or intense light for
extended periods of time. Long exposure to this light
may result in failure of the remote control sensor.
•
When the remote control will not be used over one
month, please remove the batteries to prevent the pos-
sibility of battery acid leakage which could damage
the unit. Should leakage occur, remove and discard the
batteries, and wipe the battery case thoroughly with a
cloth. Avoid getting the battery liquid on the skin. After
cleaning, replace with new batteries.
•
The remote control functions by using an infrared light
signal. When using the unit to control the CD-160MKII,

Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining from
tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are
inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal
mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.
•
Do not use cracked discs.
•
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circu -
lar promotional, etc. discs.
•
The CD-160MKll cannot play unfinalized CD-R/RW discs.
•
CD-R and CD-RW discs are sensitive to the effects of
heat and ultraviolet rays. 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.
•
When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use a
soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information.
Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may
cause damage to the recorded side.
•
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a
CD-R and CD-RW discs, read the precautions supplied
with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
•
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection sys -
tem, have been released form several record companies
in an attempt to protect the copyright. Since some of
these discs do not comply with the CD specifications,
they may not be playable on the CD-160MKII.
other devices that are turned on could be operated by its
signal.
•
If the range of remote operation becomes smaller, or
commands do not always function properly, the batter-
ies have become weak and should be replaced. Always
replace both batteries with new batteries of the same
type.
•
Point the remote control to the remote sensor on the
main unit. Do not obstruct the path between the remote
control and the remote sensor.
