Notes on the Compact Disc (CD)
The surface which is glossy like a ralnbow is the front side of the CD, and the surface where the label
information is printed is the back side.
Unlike conventional analog disk turntables, the CD player reads information from the disc by applying laser
beam, in place of a stylus, on the front surface. Consequently, the performance of CD discs will not degrade
after repeated use like conventional analog disks.
■Handle the CD disc carefully so as not to damage the front surface.
■To maintain the CD disc flawless, do not place it in the following locations.
●In a place subject to direct sunlight or near a heat source such as a room heater.
●In a place subject to excessive moisture or dirt.
●In a place which may be subject to rain, for example near a window.
■Keep the disc surface always clean.
UP to about 6 billion items of data are recorded on the Cd disc surface. When cleaning the disc surface,
always use a specialized CD cleaner product and wipe in the direction as shown below.
●Wipe in the radial direction.
●Do not wipe in the circumference direction.
●Never use record cleaner designed for conventional analog disks, for this may degrade the CD disc surface.
■Always store disc properly in the case.
