Care of the CD and DVD Player
Do not add any label to a CD. It could get caught in the
CD or DVD player. If a CD is recorded on a personal
computer and a description label is needed, try labeling
the top of the recorded CD with a marking pen.
The use of CD lens cleaners for CDs is not advised,
due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD
optics with lubricants internal to the CD and DVD player
mechanism.
Notice:If a label is added to a CD, or more than
one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an
attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs,
the CD player could be damaged. While using the
CD player, use only CDs in good condition without
any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD
player and the loading slot free of foreign materials,
liquids, and debris.
If an error displays, see “CD Messages”later in
this section.
Care of CDs and DVDs
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can be reduced
due to CD-R or CD-RW quality, the method of
recording, the quality of the music that has been
recorded, and the way the CD-R or CD-RW has been
handled. Handle them carefully. Store CD-R(s) or
CD-RW(s) in their original cases or other protective
cases and away from direct sunlight and dust. The
CD or DVD player scans the bottom surface of the disc.
If the surface of a CD or DVD is damaged, such as
cracked, broken, or scratched, the CD or DVD does not
play properly or not at all. Do not touch the bottom side
of a CD or DVD while handling it; this could damage the
surface. Pick up CDs by grasping the outer edges or
the edge of the hole and the outer edge.
If the surface of a CD or DVD is soiled, clean it with a
soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a
mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water.
Make sure the wiping process starts from the center
to the edge.
