Precautions for Rental Discs

Do not use discs with residue from cellophane tape, rental discs with labels which are peeling off, or discs with decorative labels. This type of disc could get stuck in the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD, or could damage the

CBX-500/CBX-600UKD.

Precautions for Inkjet Printable Discs

Do not leave a CD-R/CR-RW having a label printed with an inkjet printer in the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD for a long time. The disc could get stuck in the CBX-500/

CBX-600UKD, or could damage the CBX-500/

CBX-600UKD.

Remove the disc from the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD when not being played, and store it in a case. A freshly printed disc will stick easily, and should not be played immediately.

Caring for Discs

If the disc is dirty, the CBX-500/CBX-600UKD will have a hard time reading signals, and the audio quality may drop. If the disc is dirty, gently wipe off fingerprints and dust with a soft cloth. Lightly wipe from the center outwards.

To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a soft cloth dampened with water, and then dry it with a dry cloth. Do not use cleaning spray for analog records or antistatic agents, etc.

Never use volatile chemicals such as benzine or paint thinner as they can impregnate the disc surface.
