CD Handling Precautions

How to Hold a CD

Hold the CD as shown in the illustration. Do not drop the CD. Do not leave fingerprints on the surface of the CD. If the surface is scratched, it may cause the signal to skip. Do not attach tape, paper, or adhesive labels to the CD.

Do not write on the CD.

Damaged CD

Do not attempt to play damaged, warped, or cracked CDs. This may seriously damage the playback mechanism.

Storage

Store CDs in individual cases.

Store CDs in a cool place away from direct sunlight, heat, and dust.

Do not try to grab and pull out the CD manually while it is being drawn into the unit by the self-loading mechanism.

Do not remove the unit from the instrument panel immediately after a CD is inserted or the EJECT button is pressed. If the unit is removed before the operation is complete, the CD is not secured in the unit and may be damaged. Do not try to insert a CD when the unit is removed from the instrument panel or when power is disconnected.

Keep CDs Clean

Fingerprints, dust, or dirt on the surface may cause the signal to skip. Wipe the surface with a clean, soft cloth. If the surface is heavily soiled, dampen a clean, soft cloth with a solution of mild neutral detergent and wipe clean.
