Care and maintenance
CDs
For best possible sound quality, use CDs that
are clean and in good condition and only use
standard 12cm circular compact discs. It also
pays to take good care of them.
• Direct sunlight or extreme temperatures,
for example, can distort a CD and may
lead to trouble when it is inserted into the
audio unit.
• When not in use, CDs should be returned
to their original pack and stored in a
suitable container.
• Always hold a CD by its edge or centre and
avoid touching the underside surface (usually
the side with no printing on it). Fingerprints
and scratches will impair sound quality and
may even prevent CD playback.
• The audio unit may also be damaged if
'foreign bodies', unsuitable items like
credit cards or coins, are pushed inside the
CD aperture.
