Compact disc care
l Keep the discs clean. Wipe them with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth, wor\
king from the center outwards.
If necessary, dampen the cloth with a neutral soap solution. Dry thoroug\
hly before using.
l Never use cleaning spray or antistatic liquid. Use only cleaners specifi\
cally made for CDs.
l Use discs of the correct size only (3.5" discs should never be used). \
l The discs should conform to the norms EN60908 (IEC60908). CDR discs ca\
n cause listening
problems due to the quality of the disc or recording equipment used.
l DualDisc: The audio side of a DualDisc (combined CD/DVD) does not meet\
CD specifications and
may not play in your audio system.
l Do not put tape or labels on the disc itself.
l Volvo does not recommend the use of plastic outer rings on the disc.
l Condensation may occur on discs/optical components of the changer in col\
d winter weather. The disc
can be dried with a clean, lint-free cloth. Optical components in the CD\
changer may, however, take up
to one hour to dry off.
l Never attempt to play a disc which is damaged in any way.
l When not in use, the discs should be stored in their covers. Avoid stori\
ng discs in excessive heat,
direct sunlight or dusty locations.
