Handling Of Compact Discs - Tascam D00851300A Owner's Manual

Handling of compact discs

Observe the following:
 Always place compact discs in the
tray with their label facing upward
(compact discs can only be played
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.
 Finger marks and dust should be
carefully wiped off the disc's re-
corded surface with a soft cloth.
Unlike conventional records, the
compact disc has no grooves to
collect dust and microscopic de-
bris, so gently wiping with a soft
cloth should remove most parti-
cles.
 Wipe in a straight motion from
the inside to the outside of the
6
— TASCAM CD-BT1MKII
disc. Small dust particles and light
stains will have absolutely no ef-
fect on reproduction quality.
 Never use such chemicals as re-
cord sprays, antistatic sprays or
fluid, benzine or thinner to clean
compact discs. Such chemicals
will do irreparable damage to the
disc's plastic surface.
 Discs should be returned to their
cases after use to avoid serious
scratches that could cause the la-
ser pickup to "skip".
 Don't expose discs to direct sun-
light or high humidity and tem-
perature for extended periods.
Long exposure to high tempera-
ture can warp the disc.
 Only use circular compact discs.
Avoid using noncircular promo-
tional, etc. discs.
 To keep the laser pickups clean, do
not touch them. For the same rea-
son, do not leave the disc tray open
unnecessarily.
 The CD-BT1MKII cannot play
unfinalized CD-R/RW discs. In
addition, some finalized CD-R/
RW discs may be unplayable on
the CD-BT1MKII.
