Discs (2)
CAUTION
Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged.
o
Playing such discs could cause irreparable harm to the playing
mechanisms.
While printable CD-R and CD-RW discs utilizing modern printing
o
technologies are generally acceptable, older systems that use
adhesives to attach paper type labels to the disc surface are not
recommended.
Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do not
o
use any protective coating sprays.
Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers
o
with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to
malfunction.
Do not use irregularly-shaped discs (octagonal, heart-shaped, busi-
o
ness-card-size, etc.). CDs with these shapes could damage the unit.
Handling precautions
Always insert the disc into the disc tray with the label side up. Only
o
one side of a Compact Disc can be played or used for recording.
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of
o
the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
How to remove the disc
Storage precautions
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and
o
scratches that could cause the laser pickup to "skip."
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high temperature and
o
humidity for extended periods. Long exposure to high tempera-
tures will warp discs.
CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and
o
ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not
stored in locations where they will be exposed to direct sunlight.
They should also be kept away from sources of heat, such as radia-
tors and heat-generating electrical devices.

How to hold the disc
Maintenance
If a disc becomes dirty, wipe its surface radially from the center
o
hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry cloth.
Never clean discs using chemicals such as record sprays, antistatic
o
sprays and fluids, and thinner. Such chemicals will do irreparable
damage to the disc's plastic surface.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a disc, read the
precautions supplied with the disc or contact the disc manufacturer.
