❒ never use chemical products (e.g. antistatic or
thinner spray cans) for cleaning as they could
damage the surface of the CDs;
❒ after listening to them place CDs back in their
cases to avoid them being damaged;
❒ do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high
temperatures or moisture for long periods;
❒ do not stick labels on the surface of the CD and
do not write on the recorded surface using pens
or pencils;
❒ Never use CDs that are very scratched, cracked,
distorted, etc. Their use could cause damage the
player or make it malfunction;
❒ to achieve the best quality audio reproduction
we recommend the use of original CD media.
Correct operation is not guaranteed when CD-
R/RW media are used that were not correctly
burnt and/or with a maximum capacity above
650 Mb;
❒ do not use commercially available protective
sheets for CDs or discs with stabilisers as they
could get stuck in the internal mechanism and
damage the disc;
❒ if a copy-protected CD is used, it may take a few
seconds before the system starts to play it. The
CD player cannot be guaranteed to play all
protected discs. The presence of copy protection
is often indicated in small letters or may be
difficult to read on the cover of the CD; it may
say something like, for example, "COPY
CONTROL", "COPY PROTECTED", "THIS
CD CANNOT BE PLAYED ON A PC/MAC" or
may be identified through the use of symbols,
such as, for example:
❒ The CD player is able to read most of the
compression systems currently on the market
(e.g.:LAME, BLADE, XING, FRAUNHOFER)
but as these systems are continually evolving,
playback of all compression formats is not
guaranteed.
