CD CARE TIPS
Even though a CD is very durable, you
should handle it with care.
Keep the CD inside the CD player or
in its protective case or sleeve when
you are not playing it.
Handle a CD by its edges to avoid
fingerprints that can prevent the CD
player’s laser beam from accurately
reading the CD. Your local Ra-
dioShack store sells a suitable CD
cleaner kit.
Do not write on either side of the
CD, particularly the non-label side.
(Signals are read from the non-label
side.)
Keep the CD dry. A water drop can
act as a lens and affect the laser
beam’s focus.
Never use chemicals such as record
cleaning sprays, anti-static sprays
or fluids, benzene, or thinner to
clean CDs. These chemicals will
permanently damage the plastic
surface of the CD.
If a CD skips when you try to play
it, the CD might be scratched. Your
local RadioShack store sells a
Scratch ’n Fix kit that might stop
the skip. Also see “Troubleshooting”
on Page 17.
