Operating

- Playback: Once inserted, most players will automatically begin playback. If not, press the "Play" button on your device or remote control.

Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your Audio CD and ensure optimal playback quality.
- Handling: Always hold the CD by its outer edge or the center hole. Avoid touching the shiny playing surface, as fingerprints and oils can affect playback.
- Cleaning: If the disc becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth (e.g., microfiber) from the center outwards in a straight line. Do not wipe in circular motions. For stubborn marks, a small amount of water or a specialized CD cleaning solution can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the CD in its original jewel case or a protective sleeve when not in use. Keep discs away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
- Scratches: While minor scratches may not affect playback, deep scratches can cause skipping or playback errors. Handle with care to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Disc skips or stutters during playback. | Dust, fingerprints, or minor scratches on the playing surface. | Clean the disc thoroughly as described in the Maintenance section. Inspect for deep scratches. |
| Disc does not play or is not recognized. | Disc inserted incorrectly, dirty disc, or incompatible player. | Ensure the disc is inserted label-side up. Clean the disc. Try the disc in another compatible player to rule out player issues. |
