CD43 mk2 Compact Disc Player
COMPACT DISCS
HANDLING THE DISCS
This unit has been designed to play Compact
Discs bearing the identification logo shown
below. DVD discs cannot be played.
u Always place the CD in the disc tray with
the label facing up. CD’s can only be
played on one side.
u To remove a CD from its storage case,
press down on the centre of the case and
lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the
edges.
u Fingerprints and dust should be carefully
wiped off the CD's signal surface (glossy
side) with a soft dry cloth. Unlike a
conventional record, the CD has no
grooves to collect dust and microscopic
debris, so gently wiping it with a soft dry
cloth should remove most particles.
u Wipe the disc in a straight motion from the
inside out. Small dust particles and stains
will have absolutely no effect on
reproduction quality.
u Never use chemicals such as record
sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzine
or thinners to clean a compact disc. Such
chemicals would irreparably damage the
surface.
u Store the discs in their cases when not in
use to avoid serious scratches which could
cause the laser pickup to skip.
u Do not expose the discs to direct sunlight,
high humidity, or high temperatures for
extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures can warp the discs.
u Do not stick paper or write anything with a
ballpoint pen on the disc surface.
LOADING DISCS
1. Switch the power on at the back of the unit.
Press the STANDBY button on the front
panel or STBY on the remote handset.
2. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the
front or DISC on the handset. The disc tray
will open. If the disc tray gets jammed while
opening, it will stop and close
automatically.
3. When the disc tray has opened fully, take a
normal size (12 cm) disc from its case and
place it carefully in the tray with the label
facing up. To play an 8 cm single place it in
the inner groove of the tray with the label
facing up.
NOTE: Only load one disc at a time. The
side opposite the label is the signal side.
Handle the disc carefully to avoid leaving
fingerprints on its surface.
4. To close the disc tray, press the
OPEN/CLOSE button (DISC button) again
or gently push the tray in.
When the tray is fully closed, with a
correctly loaded disc, the disc will start
turning automatically and the TOC (table of
contents) will be read. The disc will then
stop and the TOC will be displayed, i.e.
the total number of tracks on the disc and
the total playing time of the disc. The
calendar track indicator will also light up
and the CD player will be ready to play.
NOTE: If after you load the disc you press
the PLAY button to close the tray, the disc
will automatically start playing from the
beginning of track one.
