This section shows you how to handle, clean, and store
discs.
<
Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label
side uppermost. (DVD can be recorded and compact
discs can be played only on one side. Some pre-
recorded DVDs can be played on both sides)
<
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down
on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding
it carefully by the edges.
How to remove the disc
How to hold the disc
<
Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radi-
ally (from the center hole outward towards the outer
edge) with a soft, dry cloth :
<
Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antista-
tic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the
discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to
the disc's plastic surface.
<
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to
avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to "skip."
<
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidi-
ty and temperature for extended periods. Long expo-
sure to high temperatures will warp the disc.
<
Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or
damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable
harm to the playing mechanisms.
<
Recordable discs are more sensitive to the effects of
heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is
important that they are not stored in a location where
direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away
from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-gen-
erating electrical devices.
<
Printable discs are not recommended, as the label
side might be sticky and damage the unit.
<
Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs
and do not use any protective coating spray.
<
Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the infor-
mation on the label side. Never use a ball-point or
hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the
recorded side.
<
Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available
CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mecha-
nisms and cause them to malfunction.
<
Do not use irregular shape discs (octagonal, heart
shaped, business card size, etc.). Discs of this type
can damage the unit:
<
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of
a recordable disc, read the precautions supplied
with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer
directly.
