method of recording.
COMPACT DISC CARE
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift the disc out, holding it
carefully by the edges. Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s reco
rded surface with a
soft cloth. Unlike conventional Vinyl or Shellac records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and
microscopic debris, so a gentle wipe with a soft, lint-free dry and clean cloth should remove most particles.
Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to
clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no
effect on sound reproduction quality. Never fix labels to the surface of compact discs or write on them, except
very gently with a specialist CD-R Pen.
REPEAT/RANDOM MODE (on the remote control only)
Press the
PLAY MODE button on the remote control before or during playback - a file, folder (for an MP3 disc only)
