Handling of compact discs
Observe the following:
Always place compact discs in the
tray with their label facing upward
(compact discs can only be played
on one side).
To remove a disc from its storage
case, press down on the center
of the case, and lift the disc out,
holding it carefully by the edges.
Finger marks and dust should be
carefully wiped off the disc’s re-
corded surface with a soft cloth.
Unlike conventional records, the
compact disc has no grooves to
collect dust and microscopic de-
bris, so gently wiping with a soft
cloth should remove most parti-
cles.
Wipe in a straight motion from
the inside to the outside of the
disc. Small dust particles and light
stains will have absolutely no ef-
fect on reproduction quality.
Never use such chemicals as re-
cord sprays, antistatic sprays or
fluid, benzine or thinner to clean
compact discs. Such chemicals
will do irreparable damage to the
disc’s plastic surface.
Discs should be returned to their
cases after use to avoid serious
scratches that could cause the la-
ser pickup to “skip”.
Don’t expose discs to direct sun-
light or high humidity and tem-
perature for extended periods.
Long exposure to high tempera-
ture can warp the disc.
Only use circular compact discs.
Avoid using noncircular promo-
tional, etc. discs.
To keep the laser pickups clean, do
not touch them. For the same rea-
son, do not leave the disc tray open
unnecessarily.
The CD-GT1MKII cannot play
unfinalized CD-R/RW discs. In
addition, some finalized CD-R/
RW discs may be unplayable on
the CD-GT1MKII.
