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 easily affected by high temperature and humidity. Prolonged exposure to high heat and humidity may make the discs unplayable. Therefore, do not leave them for a long time in the boat.
• New discs may have rough edges. If such discs are used, the player may not work, or the sound may skip. Use a ball-point 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
Ball-point pen
Roughness
the CD player.
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.
