Playing an MP3 Disc

For more information on how to play an MP3 CD-R/RW disc, see Using an MP3.

Care of CDs

Sound quality can be reduced because of CD quality, the method of recording, the quality of the music that has been recorded, and the way the CD has been handled.

If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a soft, lint free cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it. Make sure the wiping process starts from the center to the edge.

Care of the CD Player

Notice: If a label is added to a CD, or more than one CD is inserted into the slot at a time, or an attempt is made to play scratched or damaged CDs, the CD player could be damaged. While using the CD player, use only CDs in good condition without any label, load one CD at a time, and keep the CD player and the loading slot free of foreign materials, liquids, and debris.

Do not add any label to a CD, it could get caught in the CD player. If a CD is recorded on a personal computer and a description label is needed, label the top of the recorded CD with a marking pen.

The use of CD lens cleaners for CDs is not advised, due to the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with lubricants internal to the CD player mechanism.

If an error displays, see "CD Messages" later in this section.

CD Messages

If the CD ejects, or stops playing, it could be for one of the following reasons:
