Notes on CDs
On handling CDs
• To keep the disc clean, hold it along its edges only.
Do not leave fingerprints on the surface.
• Do not stick adhesive papers or tapes onto the disc.
• Only regular circular discs can be used in this deck.
Irregularly shaped discs, such as star- or heart-
shaped discs, may damage the deck.
• If there is glue or a similar substance on the disc,
remove it completely before using the disc.
On storage
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight, heat
sources, or high humidity.
• Store discs in their cases. Do not store discs either
stacked horizontally or standing vertically without
their cases.
On cleaning
• Fingerprints or dust on the CD may cause
poor sound reproduction or sound
dropout.
• Before playing a disc, clean it with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.
• If the disc is still dirty after being wiped with a
cleaning cloth, wipe it again with a slightly
moistened cloth. Then wipe off the residual moisture
with a dry cloth.
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners or antistatic spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
Note on High-Speed CD-MD Synchro-
Recording
Certain CD conditions may cause sound dropout or
noise in the recording results, or even create
unwanted tracks on the MD. If this happens, clean
the CD as instructed on “On cleaning” above, and
record material to the MD using normal-speed CD-
MD Synchro-Recording only.

Handling MDs
The MD is enclosed in a cartridge to protect the disc
from debris or fingerprints and to make it easy to
handle.
However, the presence of debris or a warped cartridge
may inhibit the disc from operating properly. To
ensure that you can always listen to the highest quality
music, follow the precautions below:
• Do not touch the internal disc directly. Forcing the
shutter open may damage the internal disc.
• Be sure to stick the labels supplied with the MD to
the appropriate positions. The shape of the labels
may vary depending on the MD brand.
Where to keep the MDs
Do not place the cartridge where it may be exposed to
direct sunlight or extremely high heat and humidity.
Regular maintenance
Wipe dust and debris from the surface of the cartridge
with a dry cloth.
