CD Player

CAUTION! This system operates with a laser. It must
be opened by only a qualified technician.

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 anti-static agents
on CDs. Also, never clean CDs with benzene, thinner, or
other volatile solvents which may cause damage to disc
surface
