Handling of compact discs

1 - Introduction

The GA-100CD has been designed for the playback

of CD-DA (standard audio) format discs. In addition

to ordinary 5-inch and 3-inch CDs, it can also play

properly recorded CD-R and CD-RW discs.

Always place CDs in the tray with their labeled sides

facing upward.

To remove a disc from its case, press down on the

center of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, hold

ing it carefully by the edges.

Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the

non-label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping,

so keep discs clean and store them in their cases

when not being played. To clean the signal side of a

disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the cen

ter towards the outside edge.

Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions,

benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to

clean CDs as they could damage the delicate playing

surface. This may cause CDs to become unplayable.

Discs should be returned to their cases after use to

avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser

pickup to “skip.”

•

Keep discs away from direct sunlight, and places of

high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warp

ing could result.

Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of

the disc. Do not write on the disc with ballpoint pens.

Do not use cracked discs.

Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-

circular promotional discs, etc.

The GA-100CD cannot play CD-R/RW discs that are

not finalized.

Several record companies have released music discs

that use Copy Control and other copy-protection

systems in an effort to prevent piracy. Since some

of these discs do not comply with the CD specifica

tions, the

GA-100CD may not be able to play them.

After opening the CD player cover, if the CD is still

spinning, wait until it has stopped before removing it.

CAUTION

Using commercially available CD stabilizers or

printable recordable discs with this player will

damage the mechanism and cause it to malfunction.

Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to

it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick

to the turntable of the GA-100CD. If it sticks to the

turntable, you will need a technician to get it out.

•

If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a

warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change,

there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could

condense on the internal mechanism, making correct

operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs,

let the player sit for one or two hours at the new room

temperature before using.

Do not place the unit in the following types of places.

Placement in such locations may cause malfunction or

reduce sound quality.

Unstable places or places with frequent vibrations

Near windows or in direct sunlight

Near heating devices or other extremely hot places

Extremely cold places

Damp or poorly ventilated places

Placing this amp near another power amplifier or

another device with a large transformer can cause hum.

•

Adjust the distance and angle between the devices if

this occurs.

Operation of the GA-100CD near a television or radio

may cause color distortion on the television screen

or noise in the radio signal. If this occurs, move the

GA-100CD farther away.

Use of mobile phones and other wireless devices near

the GA-100CD may cause the amp to produce noise

during use or when calls are made or received. If this

occurs, turn off the device or move it away from the

GA-100CD.

Beware of condensation
