Handling CDs

• Do not touch the signal surfaces. Hold CDs by
the edges, or by one edge and the hole. Do
not affix labels or adhesive tapes to the label
surfaces. Do not scratch or damage the label.
CDs rotate at high speeds inside the player. Do
not use damaged (cracked or warped) CDs.

Cleaning CDs

• Dirty CDs can cause poor sound quality. Always
keep CDs clean by wiping them gently with
a soft cloth from the inner edge toward the
outer perimeter.
• If a CD becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water,
wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and
then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic
agents on CDs. Also, never clean CDs with ben-
zene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which
may cause damage to disc surface.
CD Lens Care
When your CD lens gets dirty it can also cause the
system to output poor sound quality. To clean the
lens you will need to purchase a CD lens cleaner
which can maintain the output sound quality of
your system. For instructions on cleaning the CD
lens, refer to the ones accompanying the lens
cleaner.
