Handling precautions
< Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side up. Only
one side of a Compact Disc can be played or used for recording.
< Do not touch the signal side (the unlabeled side).
Fingerprints, oils and other substances can cause errors during
playback.
< To remove a disc from a standard storage case, press down on the
case through the center of the disc and lift the disc out, holding it
carefully by its edges.

Storage precautions
< Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and
scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”
< Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high temperature or
humidity for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures
will warp discs.
< CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat
and ultraviolet rays than commercial CDs. It is important that they
not be stored in locations where they will be exposed to direct
sunlight. They should also be kept away from sources of heat, such
as radiators and heat-generating electrical devices.
< To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth
from the center towards the outside edge.
Dirt on discs can lower the sound quality, so clean them and
always store them in a clean state.
Maintenance
< If a disc becomes dirty, wipe its surface radially from the center
hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry cloth.
< Never clean discs using chemicals such as record sprays, antistatic
sprays and fluids and thinners. 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 CD-R or
CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc or contact
the disc manufacturer.
CAUTION
Never turn the unit off or disconnect a USB flash drive when
