CARE FOR USING CD'S:

1. To keep the disc clean:
Do not attach any sticker or adhesive tape on the disc.
Handle the disc by its edge to keep the disc clean and do not touch the surface.
Before playing a disc, wipe it off with a clean, dust-free cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc outwards from the disc center.

2. When one has already been inserted. Doing so may damage the unit. Insert a disc
with labeled surface up, or it will damage the unit.

3. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or nearby heat sources such as heating
vents, caliduct which can cause the disc to warp.
Do not leave disc in a car if it is parked in direct sunlight as that will lead to a
considerable rise in the temperature inside the car.

4. Do not use any secondhand or rented disc, usually, there is glue on the surface of
those discs, it will stop the unit working and damage it.

5. Always store the disc in its case for protection. Scratched up discs will produce poor
sound performance and cause CD player to skip.

6. In raining day or wet area, the moisture may form on the disc or the optical parts,
the playback may not be possible. If moisture forms on the disc, wipe it off with a
soft cloth.
If moisture forms on the optical parts of the unit, allow the unit to sit for about one
hour with power on.

7. Do not use solvents such as benzine or thinners. Commercially available cleaners
or anti-static spray will damage the unit.
