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

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.
