Handling Compact Discs

English

Use only compact discs bearing the or

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.

Classical, Heavy Metal, Dance and many
others...
