Disc Handling & Maintenance

Handling Precautions

• Hold the disc by the edges so

the surface will not be soiled

with fi ngerprints.

• Fingerprints, dirt and scratches

can cause skipping and

distortion.

• Do not write on the label side

with a ball-point pen or other

writing utensil.

• Do not use record cleaning

sprays, benzine, thinner, static

electricity prevention liquids, or

any other solvent.

• Be careful not to drop or bend

the disc.

• Do not install more than one

disc on the disc tray.

• Do not try to close the disc tray

when the disc is not installed

properly.

• Be sure to store the disc in its

original case when not in use.

If the surface is soiled

• Wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth.

• When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the

center hole toward the outer edge. (If you wipe the

disc using a circular motion, circular scratches are

likely to occur, which will cause noise.)

If the disc is brought from a cold to a warm

environment, moisture may form on the disc

• Wipe moisture off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth

before using the disc.

following places:

• Areas exposed to direct sunlight

Maintenance
