System 720 (130-1267) CD Operation Faxback Doc. # 7637
HANDLING THE DISCS
This unit has been designed to play compact discs bearing the
identification logo shown below. No other discs can be played.
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of
the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the signal surface
of the disc (glossy side) with a soft cloth.
Wipe in a straight motion from the center to the outside of the disc.
Never use chemicals such as record cleaning sprays, antistatic sprays
or fluids, benzine or thinner to clean compact discs. These
chemicals will permanently damage the plastic surface of the disc.
Always place the compact disc in the disc tray with the label facing
upward. Compact discs can be played on only one side.
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to protect them from
dust and scratches.
To prevent warping the disc, do not expose it to direct sunlight, high
humidity or high temperatures for extended periods of time.
Do not apply paper or write anything on the disc surface.
