Handling and care tips for compact discs used in your Koss CD player

• Handle the compact disc by grasping it on the outer edge and inner hole when removing the disc from its case or the CD player disc tray. Don't touch the media side of the compact disc with your fingers because oil and dirt from your fingers can interfere with compact disc playback.
• Don't expose compact discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat sources such as heater air ducts or a car parked in direct sunlight.
• Insert and remove compact discs in the CD player disc tray carefully to avoid scratching the media side of the compact disc. Make sure the compact disc is properly inserted in the disc tray before pressing the button to insert the disc tray into the player to avoid marring the compact disc.
• After removing the compact disc from the CD player, store the disc in its storage case.
• Don't use tape or labels on the top of compact discs. Use a non-solvent-based felt-tip marker to label the top side of the disc.

Cleaning tips for compact discs used in your Koss CD player

• Proper cleaning of compact discs ensures that the CD player can read and play the disc properly.

• Clean compact discs regularly to enjoy accurate and trouble-free playback in your CD player.
• Inspect the compact disc before inserting it in your CD player for playback. Clean the compact disc if you see fingerprints, debris or deposits on the media surface of the disc.
