Handling discs

Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

Do not scratch the disc’s signal surface or let it get dirty.

Do not load more than one disc into the player at a time.

Do not glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-

damage the disc.

Storing discs

Always store discs in their cases, and place the cases vertically,
avoiding places exposed to high temperature or humidity, direct
sunlight or extremely low temperatures.

Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.

Cleaning discs

It may not be possible to play the disc if there are fingerprints or dust
on it. In this case, using a cleaning cloth, etc., to wipe the disc gently
from the center toward the outer edge. Do not use a dirty cleaning
cloth.

Do not use benzene, thinner or other volatile chemicals. Also do not
use record spray or antistatic agents.

For tough dirt, apply some water to a soft cloth, wring out
thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the moisture with a dry
cloth.

Specially shaped discs

used on this player. Never use such discs, as they will damage the

Condensation on discs

If the disc is moved suddenly from a cold place into a warm room (in
winter, for example), water droplets (condensation) may form on the
disc surface. Discs will not play properly if there is condensation on
them. Carefully wipe off the water droplets from the disc surface
before using the disc.
