CD
Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs may cause skipping
during playback and poor sound quality. Follow these tips for
optimum playback conditions:
❒only use CDs with the following mark:❒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;
❒Never use CDs that are very scratched, cracked, distorted, etc.
Their use could cause damage to the player or make it
malfunction;❒to achieve the best quality audio reproduction we recommend
the use of original CD media. Correct operation is not
guaranteed when CD-R/RW media are used that were not
correctly burnt and/or with a maximum capacity above 650
Mb;
❒do not use commercially available protective sheets for CDs or
discs with stabilisers as they could get stuck in the internal
mechanism and damage the disc;
❒if a copy-protected CD is used, it may take a few seconds before
the system starts to play it. The CD player is not guaranteed to
play all copy-protected discs. The presence of copy protection is
often indicated in small letters or may be difficult to read on the
cover of the CD; it may say something like, for example, “COPY
CONTROL”, “COPY PROTECTED”, “THIS CD CANNOT BE
PLAYED ON A PC/MAC” or may be identified through the use
of symbols, such as, for example:
❒The CD player is able to read most of the compression systems
currently on the market (e.g.:LAME, BLADE, XING,
FRAUNHOFER) but as these systems are continually evolving,
playback of all compression formats is not guaranteed.
