Setup

- Close Tray/Slot: Close the disc tray or allow the player to draw the disc into the slot.
Operating
Once the Audio CD is loaded, you can begin playback using your CD player's controls.
- Power On: Ensure your audio CD player and connected amplifier/speakers are powered on.
- Select Source: If your audio system has multiple inputs, select the correct input for your CD player.

Maintenance
Proper care of your Audio CD will ensure its longevity and optimal sound quality.
- Handling: Always hold the CD by its outer edges or by placing a finger through the center hole. Avoid touching the shiny playing surface.
- Storage: Store the CD in its original jewel case or a protective sleeve when not in use. Keep it away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
- Cleaning: If the CD becomes dirty or smudged, gently wipe the playing surface with a soft, lint-free cloth (e.g., microfiber) in a straight line from the center to the outer edge. Do not wipe in circular motions. For stubborn marks, a small amount of water or a specialized CD cleaning solution can be used, applied to the cloth, not directly to the disc.
- Avoid Scratches: Do not place the CD on rough surfaces. Be careful when inserting and removing it from the player.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your PUSHIM Pieces Audio CD, consider the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| CD skips or stutters during playback. | Dust, fingerprints, or scratches on the disc surface. | Clean the disc using a soft, lint-free cloth. Inspect for deep scratches; severely scratched discs may not play correctly. |
| CD does not play or is not recognized by the player. | Disc inserted incorrectly, player malfunction, or disc damage. | Ensure the disc is inserted label-side up. Try the CD in another player to rule out player issues. Check for severe damage to the disc. |
