HANDLING THE DISCS  
This unit has been designed to play Compact  
Discs bearing the identification logo shown  
below. DVD discs cannot be played.  
2. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the  
front or DISC on the handset. The disc tray  
will open. If the disc tray gets jammed while  
opening, it will stop and close  
automatically.  
3. When the disc tray has opened fully, take a  
normal size (12 cm) disc from its case and  
place it carefully in the tray with the label  
facing up. To play an 8 cm single place it in  
the inner groove of the tray with the label

u Fingerprints and dust should be carefully  
wiped off the CD's signal surface (glossy  
side) with a soft dry cloth. Unlike a  
conventional record, the CD has no  
grooves to collect dust and microscopic  
debris, so gently wiping it with a soft dry  
cloth should remove most particles.  
Disc tray  
NOTE: Only load one disc at a time. The  
side opposite the label is the signal side.  
Handle the disc carefully to avoid leaving  
fingerprints on its surface.  
u Wipe the disc in a straight motion from the  
inside out. Small dust particles and stains  
will have absolutely no effect on  
reproduction quality.  
4. To close the disc tray, press the  
OPEN/CLOSE button (DISC button) again  
or gently push the tray in.  
u Never use chemicals such as record  
sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzine  
or thinners to clean a compact disc. Such  
chemicals would irreparably damage the  
surface.  
When the tray is fully closed, with a  
correctly loaded disc, the disc will start  
turning automatically and the TOC (table of  
contents) will be read. The disc will then  
stop and the TOC will be displayed, i.e.  
the total number of tracks on the disc and  
the total playing time of the disc. The  
calendar track indicator will also light up  
and the CD player will be ready to play.  
u Store the discs in their cases when not in  
use to avoid serious scratches which could  
cause the laser pickup to skip.  
u Do not expose the discs to direct sunlight,  
high humidity, or high temperatures for  
extended periods. Long exposure to high  
temperatures can warp the discs.  
NOTE: If after you load the disc you press  
the PLAYbutton to close the tray, the disc  
will automatically start playing from the  
beginning of track one.  
u Do not stick paper or write anything with a  
ballpoint pen on the disc surface.
