General Information
Protecting CDs
When a CD is not being played, store
it in its case to protect it from dust
and other contamination. To prevent
warpage, keep CDs out of direct
sunlight and extreme heat.
When using CD-R/CD-RW discs,
use only high quality CDs labeled
for audio use.
When recording a CD-R/CD-RW,
the recording must be closed for it
to be used by the system.
To clean a CD, use a clean soft cloth.
Wipe across the CD from the center
to the outside edge.
Play only standard round CDs.
Odd-shaped CDs may jam in the
drive or cause other problems.
A new CD may be rough on the
inner and outer edges. The small
plastic pieces causing this roughness
can flake off and fall on the re-
cording surface of the CD, causing
skipping or other problems. Remove
these pieces by rubbing the inner
and outer edges with the side of a
pencil or pen.
Handle a CD by its edges; never
touch either surface. Do not place
stabilizer rings or labels on the CD.
These, along with contamination
from fingerprints, liquids, and felt-tip
pens, can cause the CD to not play
properly or possibly jam in the drive.
Handle your CDs properly to
prevent damage and skipping.
Never try to insert foreign objects in
the CD player/CD changer or the
magazine.
