■ Before transporting the unit
Remove the USB memory device and disc from the unit. Then,
set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with the
USB memory device or disc left inside can damage the unit.
■ Care of compact discs
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however
mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc
surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment
from your CD collection and player.
●
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the nonlabel side from which signals are read. Do not mark this
surface.
●
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and
excessive moisture.
●
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water
on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or
does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping
straight out from the centre, along the radius.
