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).
