Handling discs
•
Do not apply seals or adhesive labels to the surface of a
disc. Glue leaking from label edges can cause damage to
the player.
•
Discs with labels should not be used until confirming that
no glue can leak from the edges.
•
Do not touch the signal surface of a disc.
•
Do not use cracked or broken discs.
•
Handle discs carefully to avoid scratching or soiling the
surfaces.

Storing discs
•
Always replace discs in their plastic jewel cases or sleeves,
and store vertically in a location not exposed to direct sun-
light, avoiding high temperatures or humidity, or very cold
temperatures.
•
Read all manufacturers’ warnings supplied with discs.

Care of discs
•
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance.
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc.,
clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from
center to outside edge as shown in the illustration. Wipe
lightly from the center of the disc, using straight strokes.
Do not wipe the disc surface using circular motions.
•
Never use benzene or other volatile cleaners, including
products designed for cleaning or eliminating static elec-
tricity from vinyl records.
•
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commer-
cially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more
thoroughly.
•
In the event of severe soiling, dip a soft cloth in water,
wring it out thoroughly and wipe away the soiling, using
straight strokes from center to outside edge. Then dry the
disc wiping with a soft dry cloth.
