Handling Compact Discs
• Do not use compact discs that have large
scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use
of such discs may cause misoperation or
damage.
Use only compact discs bearing the
mark.
Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other
specially shaped compact discs.
Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode
may not be usable.
• To remove a compact disc from its storage
case, press down on the center of the case
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the
edges.
• Do not use commercially available CD
protection sheets or discs equipped with
stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc
or cause breakdown of the internal
mechanism.
Handling
• Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and
CD-RW discs are both easily affected by high
temperature and humidity and some of CD-R
and CD-RW discs may not be played.
Therefore, do not leave them for a long time in
the car.
Storage
• New discs may have some roughness around
the edges. If such discs are used, the player
may not work or the sound may skip. Use a
ball-point pen or the like to remove any
roughness from the edge of the disc.
• Do not expose compact discs to direct
sunlight or any heat source.
• Do not expose compact discs to excess
humidity or dust.
• Do not expose compact discs to direct heat
from heaters.
Ball-point pen
Roughness
Cleaning
• To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the
center of the compact disc to the
circumference.
• Do not use any solvents, such as
commercially available cleaners, anti-static
spray, or thinner to clean compact discs.
• After using special compact disc cleaner, let
the compact disc dry off well before playing it.
• Never stick labels on the surface of the
compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil
or pen.
• Never play a compact disc with any
cellophane tape or other glue on it or with
peeling off marks. If you try to play such a
compact disc, you may not be able to get it
back out of the CD player or it may damage
the CD player.
