Operating precautions Operating precautions Your CH3083 will perform well over a long period of time through correct handling and care. Notes on operation • For your safety, play only at volume levels that allow outside sounds to be heard. • We recommend using with this player a disc with the logo shown to the left. • You can play music CDs(CD-R/CD-RW) on this player. Be sure to use discs that have been properly processed. • Depending on the editing equipment used, some discs may not play properly.
Operating precautions About compact discs • The signal recorded on a compact disc is read by a laser beam, so nothing touches the disc surface. A scratch on the recorded surface or a badly warped disc may cause deteriorated sound quality or intermittent playback. Observe the following precautions to ensure high quality sound performance: • Do not stick a piece of paper or tape on, nor write on or scratch either side of a disc. • Discs spin at a high speed inside the deck.
Operating precautions About brand new CDs • You may notice that some brand new discs are rough around the center hole or outside edge. Remove the rough edges with the side of a ballpoint pen, etc. Rough edges may prevent proper loading in the deck. Flakes from the rough edges may also stick to the recorded surface and interfere with playback. About CD accessories • Do not use accessories (stabilizers, protective seals, laser lens cleaners, etc.) sold for “improving sound performance” or “protecting CDs.
Operating precautions About borrowed CDs • Do not use a CD with glue or remnants of adhesive tape or labels. They may cause the CD to get stuck inside or damage the deck. About irregularly-shaped CDs • Specially-shaped CDs, like heart-shaped or octagonal CDs, cannot be played. Do not attempt to play them, even with an adapter, since they may damage the player. About cleaning a CD • Use a commercially available compact disc cleaner to clean a CD, wiping lightly from the center to the edge.
