its case, press down the
center holder of the case
and lift the CD out, holding it
by the edges.

conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner,
benzine, etc.) to clean CDs.
When storing a CD into its case, gently insert
the CD around the center holder (with the
printed surface facing up).
• Make sure to store CDs into the cases after
use.

center to edge.
To play new CDs
New CDs may have some
rough spots around the inner

If such a CD is used, this unit
may reject the CD.
To remove these rough spots, rub the edges
with a pencil or ball-point pen, etc.

of CD-RWs is lower than for regular CDs.)
