conditions:
❒only use CDs with the brand:❒clean every CD thoroughly removing any
fingerprints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs
by the circumference and clean them from the
centre towards the edge;
❒never use chemical products (e.g. antistatic or
thinner spray cans) for cleaning as they could
damage the surface of the CDs;❒after listening to them place CDs back in their
cases to avoid them being damaged;
❒do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high
temperatures or moisture for long periods;
❒do not stick labels on the surface of the CD and
do not write on the recorded surface using pens
or pencils;

distorted, etc. Their use could cause damage the
player or make it malfunction;
❒to achieve the best quality audio reproduction
