Handling and care tips for compact discs used in your Sharp 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.

Steps to take when the receiver or amplifier won't play your Sharp CD player's audio signal

• Check the receiver or amplifier settings and select the correct audio input source on the receiver or amplifier if necessary.
• Check the audio cable connections between the CD player and the receiver or amplifier. Reconnect any loose audio cable connections. Replace the audio cables if they're damaged.
• Check the compact disc to make sure it's inserted in the tray properly. The label of the CD disc should be facing upward.
• Check the compact disc media side for deposits or scratches. Clean the compact disc thoroughly if you find spills or deposits on the disc.
• Reset the CD player control board by unplugging the CD player from the electrical wall outlet for several minutes. Plug the CD player power cord back in to the electrical outlet and attempt to play the compact disc again.
