General Information

Care and handling of compact discs

How to handle CDs

Which compact discs can be used?

When handling a compact disc, do not touch the surface of the

disc (reflective silver side –– the side without the label).

Since compact discs are made of plastic, they are easily

damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the

soundwillnotbepickedupcorrectlyand,inaddition,suchadisc

may cause the CD player to malfunction.

Many types of compact discs are sold for a variety of uses. The

Video CD Player can play the following compact discs:

•

Video CD

for audio and video (moving picture) repro-

duction, including multiplex sound.

PlayBack

Control

•

Video CD with Playback Control function

featuring menu-type operation and super-

fine still pictures for audio and video (moving

picture) reproduction, including multiplex

sound.

•

CD Graphics (CD-G)

for audio and video (still picture) reproduc-

tion, including multiplex sound.

Even on label side

Donotdamagethelabelside,stickpapertooruseanyadhesive

on its surface.

Digital Audio CD, including single discs

for audio reproduction.

CDs you can't play back

Do not play back CD-ROMs on this equipment. Doing so may

generate a noise which can damage your speakers.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled

oneontopofanotherwithouttheirprotectivecases, theycanbe

damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be

exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or

temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Using the remote control

The remote control is ready to use when its batteries are

installed properly.

To use it, point its infrared light-emitting window toward the

display window of the player and press a button. The operating

range of the remote control is up to about seven meters in front

of the player and within about 30 degrees to each side –– with

nothing between the remote control and the player interrupting

the beam path.

Ifpressingabuttonontheremotecontroldoesnotproduceany

response, check to make sure it is pointed correctly and try

again. If it still does not function, check the batteries.

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe it

with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards.

If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with

water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-

static agents.

CAUTION

Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled.

This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to

industry standards.)
