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

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.
