Discs (2) CAUTION Storage precautions ooDo not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged. Playing such discs could cause irreparable harm to the playing mechanisms. ooDiscs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to "skip." ooWhile 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. ooDo not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating sprays. ooNever use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction. ooDo not expose discs to direct sunlight or high temperature and humidity for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp discs. ooCD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in locations where they will be exposed to direct sunlight. They should also be kept away from sources of heat, such as radiators and heat-generating electrical devices. ooDo not use irregularly-shaped discs (octagonal, heartshaped, business-card-size, etc.). CDs with these shapes could damage the unit. Maintenance ooIf the side of the disc on which data is recorded has fingerprints or dust on it, use a soft cloth to gently wipe it radially from the center hole toward the outside edge. ooNever clean discs using chemicals such as record sprays, antistatic sprays and fluids, and thinner. 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 disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc or contact the disc manufacturer. 10

Discs (2)
CAUTION
o
Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or dam-
aged. Playing such discs could cause irreparable harm
to the playing mechanisms.
o
While printable CD-R and CD-RW discs utilizing mod-
ern printing technologies are generally acceptable,
older systems that use adhesives to attach paper type
labels to the disc surface are not recommended.
o
Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs
and do not use any protective coating sprays.
o
Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD
stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms
and cause them to malfunction.
o
Do not use irregularly-shaped discs (octagonal, heart-
shaped, business-card-size, etc.). CDs with these shapes
could damage the unit.
Storage precautions
o
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to
avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to “skip.”
o
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high tempera-
ture and humidity for extended periods. Long exposure
to high temperatures will warp discs.
o
CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects
of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is
important that they are not stored in locations where
they will be exposed to direct sunlight. They should
also be kept away from sources of heat, such as radia-
tors and heat-generating electrical devices.
Maintenance
o
If the side of the disc on which data is recorded has fin-
gerprints or dust on it, use a soft cloth to gently wipe it
radially from the center hole toward the outside edge.
o
Never clean discs using chemicals such as record
sprays, antistatic sprays and fluids, and thinner. Such
chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plas-
tic surface.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a
disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc or con-
tact the disc manufacturer.
