COMPACT DISCS
When using the Audio CD player,
remember that the presence of dirt
or marks on Compact Discs may
cause skipping when playing and
poor sound quality. The same hap-
pens if Compact Discs are bent by
accident.
To obtain optimum playing condi-
tions we give the following advice:
– Only use Compact Discs with the
brand:
– After listening to them put
Compact Discs back in their boxes to
avoid marking or scoring which
could cause skipping when playing.
– Do not expose Compact Discs to
direct sunlight, high temperatures or
damp for prolonged lengths of time
to prevent them from bending.
– Do not stick labels or write on the
recorded surface of Compact Discs.
– To remove a Compact Disc from
its container, press on the centre and
raise the disc holding carefully from
the edges.
– To remove fingerprints and dust,
use a soft cloth starting from the
centre of the Compact Disc towards
the circumference.
– Carefully clean all Compact Discs
of any fingerprints and dust using a
soft cloth. Support Compact Discs
on the edges and clean from the cen-
tre outwards.
– Never use chemical products for
cleaning (e.g. spray cans, antistatics
or thinners) as they might damage
the surface of Compact Discs.
Proper way to hold
the compact disc
Removing the disc
– New discs may be rough around
the edges. When using these discs
the player might not work or the
sound might skip. To remove rough-
ness from the edge of a disc use a
ball-point pen, etc.
