Care for Compact Discs
Treat the compact disc carefully. Handle the compact disc
only by its edges. Never allow your fingers to come in
contact with the shiny, unprinted side of the compact disc.
Do not attach adhesive tape, stickers, etc. to the
compact disc label. Clean the compact disc periodically
with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or
abrasive cleaners to clean the compact disc. If necessary,
use a CD cleaning kit.
If a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the compact
disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched).
When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines
from the center of the compact disc to the outer edge
of the compact disc. Never wipe in circular motions.
This unit is designed to play only compact discs bearing
the identification logos as shown here. Other discs may
not conform to the CD standard and may not play properly.
Compact Discs should be stored in their cases after each
use to avoid damage. Do not expose compact discs to
direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperatures or dust,
etc. Prolonged exposure or extreme temperatures can
warp the compact disc.
Do not stick anything on either side of the compact disc.
Also do not write on the shiny side of the disc, as sharp
writing instruments, or the ink, may damage the surface.
Cleaning the Unit
To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit
from the AC power source when cleaning. The finish on
your unit may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for
as other furniture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping
the plastic parts.
