Never touch the surface.  
To remove fingermarks and dust, use a soft  
cloth, and wipe in a straight line from the center  
of the compact disc to the circumference.  
Do not use compact discs that have large  
scratches, are misshapen, or cracked, etc.  
Use of such discs will cause misoperation or  
damage.  
New discs may have some roughness around  
the edges. The unit may not work or the sound
