CONCERNING COMPACT DISCS Only compact discs identified with this mark can be used with this player.
HANDLING COMPACT DISCS
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
5
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, benzine, 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.

DISC ERRORS This compact disc player has built-in error compensation circuits to correct for minor defects in a disc. There are limits, however, to the amount of correction available. In some cases, the CD player may skip some tracks,or parts of tracks, on a disc during disc play. This problem may be caused by defects (such as scratches) in the disc being played, which are too large for the error compensation circuits to handle. If you encounter this problem, check the CD player's operation as follows, before having the unit serviced: Play a new disc. If the CD player operates normally, the skipping problem is probably due to a defective disc.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Electronic products of this kind should never be subjected to extreme temperatures or high humidity. For instance, this set should not be placed in bathing areas or around stoves and radiators. If necessary, clean the unit with a piece of cloth dampened with water only (Be sure the AC Power Cord is disconnected from the Mains). Never use a polish or a strong detergent as this will damage the finish of the cabinet. This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet the highest international standards, but, like any electrical apparatus which is operated at mains voltage, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.This is particularly important with audio equipment. DO. . .read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment. DO. . .ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer s instructions. Check that the mains fuse rating is correct. DO. . .always consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation,operation or safety of your equipment. He is the best person to advise you. DO NOT...obstruct the necessary all-round ventilation ­especially DON T stand the set close to curtains or on soft furnishing such as carpets. Overheating can cause unnecessary damage and shorten the life of the set. Remember that to obtain the best performance and lasting satisfaction from your equipment, have it regularly maintai­ned by a reliable service organization. Ensure that it is corr­ectly used by all the family.
ABOVE ALL:­Never let children push anything into holes or slots in the case - this could result in an electric shock; Never guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind - it is be­tter to be safe than sorry!
