About compact discs

• The signal recorded on a compact disc is read by a laser beam, so nothing touches the disc surface.
A scratch on the recorded surface or a badly warped disc may cause deteriorated sound quality or
intermittent playback. Observe the following precautions to ensure high quality sound performance:

Recorded surface
• Do not leave an ejected disc in the disc slot for very long; the disc
may warp. Discs should be stored in their cases and kept away
from high temperature and humidity.
• Do not stick a piece of paper or tape. Do not write on or scratch
either side of a disc.
• Discs spin at a high speed inside the deck. Keep cracked or
warped discs out of the player to avoid damage it.
• Avoid touching the recorded surface when handling a disc; handle
discs by their edges.
• You may notice that some brand new discs are rough around the
centre hole or outside edge. Remove the rough edges with the
side of a ballpoint pen, etc. Rough edges may prevent proper
loading in the deck. Flakes from the rough edges may also stick to
the recorded surface and interfere with playback.
