General Checks and Advice

1) Before switching off the power ensure there is no CD in the draw, the disc tray is fully

closed and the LCD display reads “NO DISC”.

2) Installation

• Place the unit on a flat surface or mount in a secure rack case.

• The CD unit will work normally when it is mounted when the front panel is within

15° of the vertical plane. If tilted excessively discs may not be loaded properly.
Also ensure the head unit at a similar to the one shown below for the best visual
results.

• Be sure the player is mounted in a well ventilated area and is not exposed to direct

sunlight, high temperatures or high humidity.

• Keep the unit as far away as possible from TVs and tuners as the unit may cause

undesirable interference to these devices.

3) Compact Discs

• DO NOT allow fingerprints, oil or dust to get on to the surface of the disc.

• If the disc is dirty, wipe it clean with a soft dry cloth.

• DO NOT use benzene, white spirit, electrostatic-proof chemical or silicone-treated

cloths to clean discs.

• Always handle discs carefully to prevent damaging the surface; in particular when

removing a disc from its case or returning it.

• DO NOT bend the disc.

• DO NOT enlarge the hole in the centre of the disc.

• DO NOT write on the printed side of the disc with hard tipped implements such as a

pencil or ball point pen as it could effect playback.

• Condensation will form if a disc is brought in to a warm area from a colder one.

• DO NOT attempt to dry the disc with a hair dryer etc.
