Storage precautions
p Discs should be returned to their cases after use to
avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to “skip.”
p Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high tempera-
ture and humidity for extended periods. Long exposure
to high temperatures will warp discs.
p CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects
of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is
important that they are not stored in locations where
they will be exposed to direct sunlight. They should also
be kept away from sources of heat, such as radiators
and heat-generating electrical devices.
p Dirt on discs can lower the sound quality, so clean them
and always store them in a clean state.
CAUTION
p Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or dam-
aged. Playing such discs could cause irreparable harm
to the playing mechanisms.
p While printable CD-R and CD-RW discs utilizing modern
printing technologies are generally acceptable, older
systems that use adhesives to attach paper type labels
to the disc surface are not recommended.
p Do not stick paper or protective sheets on discs and do
not use any protective coating sprays.
p Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD
stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms
and cause them to malfunction.
p Do not use irregularly shaped discs (octagonal, heart-
shaped, business card size, etc.). Such CDs could
damage the unit.
Maintenance
p If a disc becomes dirty, wipe its surface radially from the
center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft,
dry cloth.
p Never clean discs using chemicals such as record sprays,
antistatic sprays and fluids, and thinner. Such chemicals
will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a
disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc or contact
the disc manufacturer.
