However, dust scratches, or warps can lead to noise or playback problems. Hold the compact disc only by the outer edge, supporting it at the center hole with your index fi nger if necessary. Be careful not to touch the unprinted side of the disc--- this is the side the laser reads. Never glue any labels or stickers to either side of the disc. If a CD does become dirty, clean it with a commercially available compact disc cleaning kit or with a silicone cloth such as those used for cleaning camera lenses. Never use chemical substances such as alcohol, record cleaners intended for analog phonograph records, or anti-static fluids. After you play a compact disc, return it to its plastic case. Avoid storing the disc in a location that is subject to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures. Playing a compact disc Because of the extremely wide dynamic range made possible by digital recording, a sudden high volume may result if you attempt to adjust your volume control by "background noise level" the way you might with records or cassette tapes. To avoid damage to speakers or headphones, keep the volume moderate until you are familiar with the sonic performance of compact discs. 1.

Note: When you load a disc, the HD7500/HD7600 reads the disc and stores information on up to 20 tracks in its internal memory. It uses this information for calculating total and remaining playback time. If the disk you load has more than 20 tracks on it, the unit will store information about only the first 20 tracks. It you attempt to use the CHECK button to see the total playback time, for example, the indicator will display only dashes, since it does not have information about all the tracks on the disc.
