Grundig MCD 36 - HANDLING THE DISCS; TROUBLESHOOTING

HANDLING THE DISCS
Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage cause sound skips during playback and a deterio-
ration of sound quality. Haw to take care of your discs:
Wise
1. Use compact discs that have the mark shown on the right.
2. 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, Smali dust particles or light stains will have absolutely no
effect on reproduction quality.
: 9. 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,
4, Discs should be put back in their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that
could cause sound skip.
5, Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for
extended periods of time. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
6. Do not stick paper or write anything with a ball-point pen on the disc surface.
