Never use chemicals such as record sprays antistatic sprays, benzene, or thinners to clean
compact discs. These chemicals can irreparably damage the disc's surface.
Discs should be returned to their cases after use. This avoids serious scratches that could
cause the Laser pickup to skip.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for extended
periods. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
Do not stick paper or write anything with a ballpoint pen on the label side of the disc.
LOADING AND UNLOADING COMPACT DISCS
Press the STANDBY/ON button to turn the unit on.
Press the OPEN/CLOSE (Eject) button to open the CD compartment.
When the disc compartment has opened, remove a disc from its case and place it carefully in
the disc compartment with the label side facing up.
Close the disc compartment by pressing the OPEN/CLOSE (Eject) button. When the compart-
ment is fully closed, the disc will start rotating. The total number of tracks will appear
on the CD display.
The disc compartment may be opened at any time by first pressing the STOP button and then
pressing the OPEN/CLOSE (Eject) button. Remove the CD only after the compartment has fully
opened.
CAUTION
Do not put anything except a compact disc into the compartment. Foreign objects can damage
the mechanism.
Keep the disc compartment closed when not in use to prevent dirt and dust from entering the
mechanism.
Never place more than one disc into the disc compartment at any time. If the disc is correctly lo-
aded, the total number of tracks on the disc will be displayed.
Notes: After the disc compartment is fully closed, the disc information may not appear on the di-
splay. This means that the disc is improperly loaded (most likely it is upside down). To check,
open the disc compartment again and reload the disc.
Insert a CD as described in the previous section and close the disc compartment. The display
will then show the total number of tracks and total playtime.
Press the PLAY/PAUSE button. Disc play will begin from the start of the first track of the disc.
A particular track can be selected using either of the CD SKIP buttons. If this is done before
pressing the PLAY/PAUSE button, disc play will start with the selected track when the PLAY/
PAUSE button is pressed.
At the end of the disc, the unit will switch to stop mode.
Notes:
If the disc is deeply scratched, or too dirty, disc play may not start. If an improperly centered
disc is played, noise can be heard in the mechanism. The use of such discs should be avoided.
Select the CD function by pressing the CD button.
