We recommend the following precautions. Keep the CD in its protective case or sleeve when you are not playing it. Keep the CD clean. Your local Radio Shack store sells a suitable CD cleaner kit. Keep the CD dry. A drop of moisture can act as a lens and affect the laser beam's focus. If it gets wet, wipe the CD with a soft, dry cloth before playing it. Do not write on either side of a CD, especially the non-lable side. Handle the CD by its edges to avoid fingerprints and surface scratches, which can prevent the laser from accurately reading the CD. If the CD gets scratched, use Scratch `n' Fix (Radio Shack Cat. No. 42-127) to keep the CD from skipping during play. Do not store CDs in high-temperature, high-humidity locations. If the System 734 is subjected to a sudden shock or jolt during play, the CD's rotation speed might suddenly change, and the music might be briefly interrupted. This is not a malfunction. Cautions: To avoid damaging the CD changer, do not place anything but a CD in the CD drawer. Remove any loaded CDs from the CD changer before moving the System 734 to prevent damaging the CDs. Moving the CD changer suddenly from a cold place to a warmer one can cause moisture to form on the pickup lens and disrupt operation. If this happens, wait about one hour before playing a CD. CAUTION: Do not try to force the CD drawer open or closed. You might damage its loading mechanism. 3. Carefully place a CD in slot number 1 with the label facing up. 4. To load a CD in each of the other slots (2 and 3), repeatedly press DISC SKIP to rotate the CD tray until the desired slot appears. 5. Press OPEN/CLOSE.
