Sound skip
When you are driving on a rough road, sound may sometimes be skipped. It is
inevitable and will not cause any damage, disc scratch, e.t.c.
Handling the CDs
Dirt, dust, scratches and warpage cause sound skips during playback and a deterio-
ration of sound quality. How to take care of your discs:
n
Use compact discs that have the mark shown on the right.

n
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s signal surface (glossy
side) with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has no
grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth
should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the out-
side of the disc. Small dust particles or light stains will have absolutely no effect on
reproduction quality.
n
Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzine or
thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals would irreparably damage the
disc’s plastic surface.
n
Disc should be put back in their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that
could cause the sound skip.
n
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for
extended periods of time. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
n
Do not stick paper or write anything with a ball-point pen on the disc surface.
