TEAC CD-3000 CD-3000 Owner's Manual - Page 7

ENGLISH < Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially (from the center hole outward towards the outer edge) with a soft and dry cloth. < Do not play irregular shape CDs (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). They can damage the unit. < Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, alcohol or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc's plastic surface. < If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R/ CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly. < Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to "skip". < Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc. < Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing mechanisms. < CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than commercial CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where they are exposed to direct sunlight, and which is away from sources of heat such as radiators or heatgenerating electrical devices. < While printable CD-R and CD-RW discs utilizing modern printing technologies are generally acceptable, older systems that use adhesives to attach paper type labels to the disc surface are not recommended. < Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating spray. < Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side. < Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction. 7
