HANDLING
THE
DISCS
This unit has been designed to play Compact Discs
bearing the identification logo shown below. DVD discs
cannot be played.
Always place the CD in the disc tray with the label
facing up. CD’s can only be played on one side.
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.
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.
Wipe the disc in a straight motion from the inside out.
Small dust particles and stains will have absolutely
no effect on reproduction quality.
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.
Store the discs in their cases when not in use to
avoid serious scratches which could cause the laser
pickup to skip.
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.
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
any button on the front panel or remote handset to
return from Standby.
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 on remote) 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 CD player is now
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.
