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.

Cautions on handling

• 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 fi ngerprints 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
