COMPACT DISC
When using the Compact Disc player, remember that dirt or marks on the CD could cause the track to
jump or lead to poor sound quality.
The same thing happens if CDs are inadvertantly bent.
For optimum playing conditions:
- carefully clean each CD to remove fingerprints and dust using a soft cloth;
- hold the CDs at the edges and clean from the middle outward;
- never use chemical products to clean (e.g. sprays, antistatic products or thinners) because they could
damage the CD surfaces;
- replace the CDs in their containers after use to avoid creating marks or scratches that could cause the
tracks to jump;
- do not expose the CDs to direct sunlight, high temperatures or moisture for long periods. Avoid bend
ing;
- do not stick labels onto or write on the recorded surfaces of CDs;
- to remove a CD from its case, press in the centre and lift the disc out by holding carefully around the
edges;
- always hold CDs by the edges. Never touch the surface;
- new CDs may be rough around the edges. When these discs are used, the radio may not play correctly.
- do not use CDs that are scratched, cracked or deformed etc. The use of such discs could lead to mal
function or damage.
