The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of
the disc, and the side on which the label is printed is the
back.
Unlike conventional turntables for playing analog discs,
the SA-12S1 reads the information recorded on the disc
from underneath without contacting it using a beam of
laser light. Therefore, the performance of a compact disc
will not degrade like conventional analog records.
Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or
scratch the front side.
To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the
following locations:
- In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater.
- In a place which is damp or dirty.
- In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as
near a window.
Always keep the disc surface clean.
Up to six billion data units are recorded on the front
side of the disc. When cleaning the disc surface, always
be sure to use a special compact disc cleaner and wipe
as shown below.
• Do not use conventional record cleaner for analog
records, as this will adversely affect the disc surface.
Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases.
• Do not attach a piece of paper or sticker on the label
side of disc. When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or
rental CD label with paste protruded from the edge
or when a disc has a trace of such a sticky object, do
not attempt to play the disc. If such a disc is played
on the CD player, impossibility of taking out the disc
or other malfunction may result.
• Write only on the printed side of a CD-R or CD-
RW, and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.
• Do not use a disc with a special shape.
Do not attempt to play a disc with a special shape
such as a heart-shaped disc or octagonal disc.
Otherwise the equipment malfunction may result
● Place the player on a firm, flat surface.
● Keep away from domestic heating equipment and
direct sunlight.
● In a cabinet, allow about 2 inches of free space all
around the player for adequate ventilation.
● If the SACD player cannot read SACDs/CDs/DVDs
correctly, use a commonly-available cleaning
CD/DVD to clean the lens before taking the SACD-
player to be repaired. Other cleaning methods may
destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to
avoid dust on the lens.
● When it is moved from a cold to a warm
environment, allow the SACD player to acclimatize
for at least 2 hours in order to avoid damage. When
suddenly placed in a warm environment, the lens
may cloud over. Playing an SACD/CD/DVD will not
be possible then. Wait until the moisture
evaporates.
