Handling Compact Discs
English
Use only compact discs bearing the
mark.
Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other
specially shaped compact discs.
Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode
may not be usable.
Handling
•
Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and
CD-RW discs are both easily affected by high
temperature and humidity and some of CD-R
and CD-RW discs may not be played. Therefore,
do not leave them for a long time in the car.
•New discs may have
some roughness
around the edges. If
such discs are used,
the player may not
work or the sound
may skip. Use a ballpoint pen or the like
to remove any roughness from the edge of the
disc.
•
Never stick labels on the surface of the compact
disc or mark the surface with a pencil or pen.
•Never play a compact disc with any
cellophane tape or other glue on it or with
peeling off marks. If you try to play such a
compact disc, you may not be able to get it
back out of the CD player or it may damage
the CD player.
Ball-point pen
Roughness
Do not use compact discs that have large
•
scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use of
such discs may cause misoperation or damage.
•
To remove a compact disc from its storage case,
press down on the center of the case and lift the
disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
• Do not use commercially available CD
protection sheets or discs equipped with
stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc or
cause breakdown of the internal mechanism.
Storage
• Do not expose compact discs to direct
sunlight or any heat source.
• Do not expose compact discs to excess
humidity or dust.
• Do not expose compact discs to direct heat
from heaters.
Cleaning
•To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the
center of the compact disc to the
circumference.
• Do not use any solvents, such as
commercially available cleaners, anti-static
spray, or thinner to clean compact discs.
• After using special compact disc cleaner, let
the compact disc dry off well before playing it.
LCD Screen
In extreme cold, the screen movement may slow down and the screen may darken, but this is normal.
The screen will recover when it returns to normal temperature.
