DISC CARE AND HANDLING
Label
Lower surface has the recorded signal
Your player has been specifically designed for the
reproduction of compact discs bearing the" " mark.
No other discs should be loaded into the player”
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the
center of the opened case and lift the disc out, carefully
holding it by the edges. Always place the disc in the tray
with the label facing up.
Although compact discs are impervious to wear during
play, damage to the surface of a disc through improper
handling will result in playback irregularities. To preserve
your compact discs, please handle them with care.
Although minute dust particles and fingerprints should
have no effect on playback, you should keep the surface
of the recorded side of your discs clean by wiping them
with a clean, dry cloth. Wipe in a straight motion from the
inside to the outside.
Never use record cleaner, record spray, antistatic sprays
or liquids, or chemical-based liquid to clean the surface of
a disc, as these may irreparably damage the disc’s plastic
^ jrface. Always return a disc its protective plastic case
when not using it. Avoid exposing discs to direct sunlight,
high temperature or high humidity for extended periods of
time. Long exposure to high temperatures may warp a
disc.
Do not write on the label side of the disc with a ballpoint
pen, as this may damage the disc.
FAULTS AND THEIR LIKELY CAUSES
Although the greatest care has been taken in the manufac¬
ture of this Compact Disc player, the possibility remains
that a fault could appear or that for some reason the player
fails to function to your complete satisfaction.
The cause, however, will certainly not always be found in
the player itself. External factors, and the fact that it takes
time to become accustomed to the whole concept of the
new product and the new discs, can also play a role.
To save you unnecessary calls on your dealer or our
Service Organization, we have compiled a list of possible
faults and their causes, To even mention some of these
causes, such as those to do with mains connection, may
perhaps seem excessive. Our experience shows, however,
that they are easily overlooked as sources of trouble.
If, by using this list, you do not succeed in solving the
problem, stop your investigation. Disconnect the mains
plug and contact your dealer.
Under no circumstances should you open up the player;
this will invalidate all rights under the guarantee.
