Handling Compact discs  
Playing a CD that is dirty, scratched  
or warped can cause the sound to  
skip and the unit to operate  
incorrectly, resulting in worsened  
sound quality. Take the following  
precautions to prevent your CDs from  
getting scratched or damaged.  
Cleaning CDs  
Do Not Load CD Accessories  
If a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gently  
using a commercially available cleaning cloth  
or a soft cotton cloth, starting from the  
center of the disc and moving outward. Do  
not clean CDs with conventional record  
cleaners, anti-static formulas, or chemicals  
such as paint thinner or benzene.  
Do not use commercially available CD  
accessories that can be loaded into the CD  
slot, such as stabilizers, protective sheets, or  
CD cleaning discs, since they can cause the  
unit to malfunction.  
Removing the CD  
Only remove the CD from the machine in a  
horizontal direction, holding it flat. You may  
damage the surface of the CD if you try  
pulling it down as it ejects.  
Handling CDs  
• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD  
(the side opposite the label) when holding it.  
Checking New CDs for Burrs  
When playing a new CD for the first time,  
check that there are not any burrs stuck to  
the perimeter of the disc or in the central  
hole. CDs with burrs stuck on them may not  
load properly or may skip while playing.  
Remove burrs using a ballpoint pen or a  
similar utensil.  
Do Not Use Special Shape CDs  
• Be sure to use round shape CDs only for this  
unit and do not use any special shape CDs.  
Use of special shape CDs may cause the  
unit to malfunction.  
• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.

Do Not Use CDs with Sticker on the  
Labeled Side  
• Remove CDs from the unit when not  
listening to them for a while, and put them  
back in their cases. Do not pile up CDs that  
are removed from their cases or prop them  
against something.  
Do not use the CD with the label sticker  
stuck on it.  
Using such a CD may cause the CD to be  
deformed and the sticker to peel off,  
resulting in malfunction of the unit.
