— 6 —EnglishHandling Compact discsPlaying a CD that is dirty, scratchedor warped can cause the sound toskip and the unit to operateincorrectly, resulting in worsenedsound quality. Take the followingprecautions to prevent your CDs fromgetting scratched or damaged.Handling CDs• Do not touch the recorded side of the CD(the side opposite the label) when holdingit.• The reflective film on a CD-R or a CD-RW ismore fragile than that on an ordinary musicCD, and may peel off if scratched. Fingerprintson a CD-R or CD-RW are also more likely tocause skipping when the disc is played. Forthese reasons, handle the disc very carefully.Detailed handling instructions will appear onthe CD-R or CD-RW package: read thisinformation carefully before using the disc.• Do not stick tape on either side of the CD.Storing CDs• Do not store CDs in areas exposed todirect sunlight (such as a car seat or thedashboard) or other hot places. A CD-R orCD-RW is more susceptible than a musicCD to damage from high temperatures andhumidity, and in some cases, may becomeunusable if left in the car for long periodsof time.• Remove CDs from the unit when notlistening to them for a while, and put themback in their cases. Do not pile up CDsthat are removed from their cases or propthem against something.Cleaning CDsIf a CD has gotten dirty, wipe it off gentlyusing a commercially available cleaning clothor a soft cotton cloth, starting from thecenter of the disc and moving outward.
