with a soft, dry cloth. Wipe the disc in a straight motion from the inside out. Small dust particles and stains will have absolutely no effect on
reproduction quality. Never use chemicals such as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzine or thinners to clean a compact disc as such

disc tray. You can also use the left side blue open/close button on the remote. When there is a disc in the tray, the track display will show DISC until the T.O.C. has been read.
Please note that if you get a message DISC on the display when the disc tray is fully closed and this remains for more than 25 seconds, this means that the disc is improperly
loaded (most likely upside down). Open the disc tray again and reload the disc correctly. If the disc tray gets jammed while closing, the tray will stop and open automatically. If
this happens reload the disc correctly. When the disc is loaded correctly the player will spin the disc to read the T.O.C. (Table of Contents). This will tell the player how many
tracks are recorded on the disc and how long they are. Depending on the number of tracks and the method of recording the information, the T.O.C. read can vary from 3 to 10
seconds or more. Until this has been achieved, no other function will work. When the T.O.C. is correctly read, the player will display the information confirming the number of
