Notes about handling compact discs
Always handle the disc with care so that its surface is not scratched.
Compact discs are not subjected to wear during play, but damage to the disc surface when the disc is being handled can adversely affect the disc’s play.
Be sure to use a felt-tip pen or similar writing tool when writing on the label side of the disc. Do not use a ball­point pen, pencil, or other hard-tipped writing tool, as these may damage the disc and may adversely affect the disc’s play .
Do not warp discs.
When a disc is not currently being used, remove it from
the unit and store in an appropriate case.
When removing or storing a disc, be careful not to scratch the playing surface.
.... CD-TEXT discs
The discs recorded with text data such as album titles, track titles and artist names. These discs can be played with ordinary CD players, however, the text data can be displayed only with CD players which have the ability to display such data.
CDX-596 can display text data recorded on CD-TEXT discs.
Note
This compact disc player may not be able to play some CD-RW discs or discs on which recording was not made correctly.
To prevent a malfunction of this unit:
Do not use any nonstandard shaped disc (heart etc.) available on the market because it might damage the unit.
Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste on it. If you use such a disc, a disc may get stuck in the unit, or damage to the unit may result.
Compact discs are not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, but even so they should be kept clean. Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion; wipe straight outward from the center.
Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of disc cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any other chemical-based liquid because such substances might irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature or high humidity for a long period of time because these might warp or otherwise damage the disc.
