Introduction

About this manual

When we refer to a key or connector or control on the CD-GT2, the typeface looks like this: PLAY.

When we refer to items shown on the display, the typeface looks like this: MENU.

Environmental considerations

The CD-GT2 may be used in most places, but you should observe the following environmental conditions to maintain top performance and prolong operating life:

• The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
  • Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 percent.
• As the unit may become hot during operation, always leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do not install this unit in a confined space such as a bookcase, and do not put anything on top of the unit.
• Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating electrical device such as a power amplifier.
• Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for correct operation.

Beware of condensation

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.

Cleaning the unit

Wipe dirt from the unit with a dry cloth. Never use thinner, benzene or other solvents because they may cause acrylic parts and coated surfaces to dissolve, labels to be eroded or other damage.

Introduction

Handling of compact discs

The CD-GT2 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 insert a compact discs into the unit with its label facing upward.
- To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

Three-step illustration showing hands performing a mechanical operation: press, disc, and press (no text or symbols)

- 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 center 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. It 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, warping could result.
• Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the disc. Do not write on the disc with a ballpoint pen.
• Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining from tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.
• Do not use cracked discs.
• Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using promotional, discs and other discs that are not circular.

• The CD-GT2 cannot play unfinalized CD-R/RW discs.
- Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection system, have been released from several record companies in an attempt to protect their copyrights. Since some of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they might not be playable on the CD-GT2.
