e Always place the compact disc in the disc

e Fingerprints and dust should be carefully
wiped off the disc’s signal surface (glossy
side) with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional
records, the compact disc has no grooves to
collect dust and microscopic debris so gently
wiping with a soft cloth should remove most
particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the
inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust
particles and light stains will have absolutely
no effect on reproduction quality.
@ Never use such chemicals as record sprays,
antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner
to clean compact discs. Such chemicals
would irreparably damage the disc’s plastic
surface.
® Discs should be returned to their cases after
use to avoid serious scratches that could
cause the laser pickup to skip.
@ Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high
humidity, or high temperatures for extended
periods. Long exposure to high tempera-
tures can warp the disc.
e Do not stick paper or write anything with a
ballpoint pen on the disc surface.
Loading and Unloading Discs
Before switching on the power, make sure that
the 3 transport screws have been removed and
the fixing screw has been turned fully counter-
clockwise.
1.
Press the POWER switch.
(If the disc tray is already open, it will close
automatically.)
. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button. The disc tray
will slide out.
If the disc tray is obstructed during opening,
the tray will close automatically and return
to the close position after approximately
4 seconds.
3. When the disc tray has opened fully, remove
the disc from its case and place it carefully in
the tray with the label side facing up. (Fig. 6)
As the side opposite the label is the signal
side, handle the disc carefully to avoid leaving
fingerprints on the disc surface.
4. To close the disc tray, press the OPEN/
CLOSE button again or gently push in on the
front of the tray.
When the tray with the disc correctly loaded
is fully closed, the disc will start turning
automatically and the total number of selec-
tions will be read. The disc will then stop and
the TRACK/INDEX counter will change from
«QO» to indicate the total number of selec-
tions. The display of the total number of
selections will disappear after several sec-
onds, and «1» will appear. The player will be
placed in the playback standby mode.
After the disc is loaded, pressing the PLAY/
PAUSE button will close the tray and automati-
cally start playback from the beginning of the
first selection.

@ Removing the disc
The disc tray can be opened at any time by
pressing the OPEN/CLOSE button.
Remove the disc only after the tray has
opened fully.
CAUTION:
@ Do not insert any objects into the tray as this
can damage the mechanism.
® Do not force the tray by hand during the
opening and closing operations.
e To prevent dirt and dust from entering the
mechanism, keep the disc tray closed when
the player is not in use.
@ Do not push in on the front of the tray by
hand when the power is switched off. If the
disc tray is closed by hand, without closing
completely, and the power is switched on,
the disc tray may oscillate, opening and
closing repeatedly. In this case, set the
POWER switch to OFF, and then gently push
in on the front of the tray.
@ If the disc is correctly loaded, the following
information will be displayed:
Example: . :
Total number of selections on the disc.
| Displayed for approximately 4 seconds.

NOTE:
— After the disc tray is fully closed, «O» may
stay on the TRACK/INDEX counter. This
means that the disc is improperly loaded
(most likely it is upside down). To check,
open the disc tray again and reload the disc.
— If disc tray closing is hampered because of
an obstruction, the disc tray will stop and
return to the open position after approxi-
mately 4 seconds.
If this happens, check the disc tray to find the
obstruction and remove it before closing the
tray again.
