TOPIC




    Concerning the AppleCD SC repair extension program:

    A customer is concerned about the compact disks getting a bit warm to the
    touch now that the fan is disconnected. Is this normal? And if so, how
    warm can the player get?

DISCUSSION


    It is true that the temperature of the unit rises without the cooling fan.
    We did a considerable amount of testing and found that the temperature
    remained lower than the 120+F needed to warp a CD. With the fan removed
    pay close attention to the unit's ventilation. DO NOT stack anything on
    top of the unit.
