Curtis RCD725 - Manual (Page 10)

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.
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a soft cloth.
Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic
debris so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line
from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have
absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
Never use chemicals such as record sprays antistatic sprays, benzene, or thinners to clean
compact discs. These chemicals can irreparably damage the disc's surface.
Discs should be returned to their cases after use. This avoids serious scratches that could
cause the Laser pickup to skip.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for extended
periods. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
Do not stick paper or write anything with a ballpoint pen on the label side of the disc.

The disc compartment may be opened at any time by first pressing the STOP button and
then pressing the PUSH OPEN button. Remove the CD only after the compartment has

CAUTION
Do not put anything except a compact disc into the compartment. Foreign objects can
damage the mechanism.
Keep the disc compartment closed when not in use to prevent dirt and dust from entering
the mechanism.
Never place more than one disc into the disc compartment at any time. If the disc is
correctly loaded, the total number of tracks on the disc will be displayed.
Notes: After the disc compartment is fully closed, the disc information may not appear on
the display. This means that the disc is improperly loaded (most likely it is upside down). To
check, open the disc compartment again and reload the disc.
