CD PLAYER TIPS CDs that can be played on this player have this mark on them: COMPACT disc DIGITAL AUDIO If you move the player from a very cold room to a warmer one, moisture can condense on the pickup lens, preventing proper disc play. If this happens, wait 30 minutes before resuming play. Do not place foreign objects in the disc tray. This can damage the driver mechanism. CARING FOR COMPACT DISCS Even though CDs are very durable, treat them with care. Do not write on either side of a CD, particularly the non-lable side. (Signals are read from the non-label side.) Do not store CDs in high-temperature, high-humidity locations. The CDs might warp. Keep the CD dry. A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser beam's focus. Always keep the CD in its protective case or sleeve when it is not in use. Always handle a CD by the edges to avoid fingerprints or scratches on the playing surface which can prevent the laser beam from correctly reading the digital information or create a "skipping' sound. To remove fingerprints and clean the CD surface, use a CD cleaner kit (such as Cat. No. 42-226). To repair scratches on the CD surface, use a CD scratches on the CD surface, use a CD scratch repair kit (such as "Scratch'n Fix", Cat. No. 42-127). (WL/all-04/03/96)
