clean.
General Notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your discs clean.
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
Cleaning the unit
• Stains on the unit
Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily
stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral
detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or have its paint peel off, be careful about the
following:
– DO NOT wipe it with a rough cloth.
– DO NOT wipe it too vigorously.
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as an
insecticide to it.
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact
with it for a long time.
Handling discs
• Remove the disc from its case by
holding it at the edge while pressing
the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the
disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use
to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface
of the disc when placing it back in
its case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,
temperature extremes, and moisture.
To clean the disc
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.
DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional
record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to clean
the disc.
