Handling Compact Discs  
• Do not use compact discs that have large  
scratches, are misshapen, cracked, etc. Use  
of such discs may cause misoperation or  
damage.  
Use only compact discs bearing the  
mark.  
Do not play heart-shaped, octagonal, or other  
specially shaped compact discs.  
Some CDs recorded in CD-R/CD-RW mode  
may not be usable.  
To remove a compact disc from its storage  
case, press down on the center of the case  
and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the  
edges.  
• Do not use commercially available CD  
protection sheets or discs equipped with  
stabilizers, etc. These may damage the disc  
or cause breakdown of the internal  
mechanism.  
Handling  
• Compared to ordinary music CDs, CD-R and  
CD-RW discs are both easily affected by high  
temperature and humidity and some of CD-R  
and CD-RW discs may not be played.  
Therefore, do not leave them for a long time in  
the car.  
Storage  
• New discs may have some roughness around  
the edges. If such discs are used, the player  
may not work or the sound may skip. Use a  
ball-point pen or the like to remove any  
roughness from the edge of the disc.  
• Do not expose compact discs to direct  
sunlight or any heat source.  
• Do not expose compact discs to excess  
humidity or dust.  
• Do not expose compact discs to direct heat  
from heaters.  
Ball-point pen  
Roughness  
Cleaning  
To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft  
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the  
center of the compact disc to the  
circumference.  
• Do not use any solvents, such as  
commercially available cleaners, anti-static  
spray, or thinner to clean compact discs.  
• After using special compact disc cleaner, let  
the compact disc dry off well before playing it.  
• Never stick labels on the surface of the  
compact disc or mark the surface with a pencil  
or pen.  
• Never play a compact disc with any  
cellophane tape or other glue on it or with  
peeling off marks. If you try to play such a  
compact disc, you may not be able to get it  
back out of the CD player or it may damage  
the CD player.
