HANDLING THE DISCS

This unit has been designed to play Compact

Discs bearing the identification logo shown

below. DVD discs cannot be played.

u

Always place the CD in the disc tray with
the label facing up. CD’s can only be
played on one side.

u

To remove a CD from its storage case,
press down on the centre of the case and
lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the
edges.

u

Fingerprints and dust should be carefully
wiped off the CD's signal surface (glossy
side) with a soft dry cloth. Unlike a
conventional record, the CD has no
grooves to collect dust and microscopic
debris, so gently wiping it with a soft dry
cloth should remove most particles.

u

Wipe the disc in a straight motion from the
inside out. Small dust particles and stains
will have absolutely no effect on
reproduction quality.

u

Never use chemicals such as record
sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzine
or thinners to clean a compact disc. Such
chemicals would irreparably damage the
surface.

u

Store the discs in their cases when not in
use to avoid serious scratches which could
cause the laser pickup to skip.

u

Do not expose the discs to direct sunlight,
high humidity, or high temperatures for
extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures can warp the discs.

u

Do not stick paper or write anything with a
ballpoint pen on the disc surface.

normal size (12 cm) disc from its case and
place it carefully in the tray with the label
facing up. To play an 8 cm single place it in
the inner groove of the tray with the label

Handle the disc carefully to avoid leaving
fingerprints on its surface.

contents) will be read. The disc will then
stop and the TOC will be displayed, i.e.
the total number of tracks on the disc and
the total playing time of the disc. The

track indicator will also light up

and the CD player will be ready to play.

NOTE: If after you load the disc you press
