About discs
Inserting a disc
• Set the disc with the labeled side facing up.
• Make sure the disc tray is fully open when inserting the disc.
• Place the disc horizontally in the tray, aligned with the tray guide.
“NO DISC” is displayed if a disc that cannot be played back on this
unit is loaded and the disc tray reopens in the case of some discs.
NOTE
• Only load one disc at a time. Loading two or more discs can damage
the unit or scratch the discs.
• Do not use cracked or warped discs or discs that have been repaired
with adhesive, etc.
• Do not use discs on which the sticky part of cellophane tape or labels
is exposed or on which there are traces of where labels have been
removed. Such discs can get caught inside the player and damage it.
• Do not use discs with special shapes, as they could damage the
player.
• Do not push the disc tray in by hand when the power is turned off.
Doing so could damage the set.
Holding discs
Do not touch the signal surface.
Loading discs
• Place the disc in the tray, label side up.
• Make sure the disc tray is fully open when inserting the disc.

Cautions on handling
• Do not get fingerprints, oil or dirt on discs.
• Take special care not to scratch discs when removing them from
their cases.
• Do not bend or heat discs.
• Do not enlarge the hole in the center.
• Do not write on the labeled (printed) surface with ball-point pens,
pencils, etc., or stick new labels on discs.
• Water droplets may form on discs if they are moved suddenly from
a cold place (outdoors for example) to a warm place, but do not try to
dry them off using a hairdryer, etc.
Cautions on storing discs
• Be sure to remove discs after using them.
• Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches, warping, etc.
• Do not store discs in the following places:
1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time
2. Dusty or humid places
3. Places exposed to heat from heaters, etc.
Cleaning discs
• If there are fingerprints or dirt on a disc, wipe them off before using
the disc. Fingerprints and dirt can impair sound quality and cause
interruptions in playback.
• Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth to clean
discs.
Gently wipe the disc from the
inside towards the outside.
Do not wipe in a circular motion.
NOTE
Do not use record spray, antistatic agents, benzene, thinner or other
solvents.
