4. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and optimal playback quality of your Adele 30 Audio CD:

• Handling: Always hold the CD by its outer edges or by placing a finger through the center hole. Avoid touching the shiny playing surface to prevent fingerprints and scratches.

  • Try playing another audio CD to determine if the issue is with the player or the disc.
