3. Operating Instructions

4. Maintenance and Care

4.1 Cleaning the CD

If the disc becomes dirty or smudged, clean it using a soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe gently from the center of the disc outwards in a straight line. Do not wipe in a circular motion, as this can create scratches that affect playback. For stubborn marks, a specialized CD cleaning solution or a small amount of water can be used, applied to the cloth, not directly to the disc.

4.2 Storage

Store the Audio CD in its original jewel case or a protective sleeve when not in use. This protects the disc from dust, scratches, and environmental damage. Store discs vertically in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

4.3 Avoiding Damage

• Do not write on the label side of the disc with ballpoint pens or sharp objects, as this can damage the data layer.
• Avoid sticking labels or adhesive materials to the disc surface.
• Do not expose the disc to excessive force or impact.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Disc Not Playing

• Ensure the disc is inserted correctly with the label side facing up.
• Check if the disc is clean and free from visible scratches or smudges. Clean if necessary (refer to Section 4.1).
• Verify that your CD player is functioning correctly and is set to the correct input/mode.
• Try playing another Audio CD to determine if the issue is with the disc or the player.

5.2 Skipping Tracks or Intermittent Playback

• Clean the disc thoroughly (refer to Section 4.1). Dust or fingerprints are common causes of skipping.
• Inspect the disc for deep scratches or cracks. Significant damage may prevent proper playback.
• Ensure the CD player is on a stable, level surface to prevent vibrations that can cause skipping.
• Consider cleaning the laser lens of your CD player with a specialized CD lens cleaner disc.
