Notes on Discs

On handling discs

• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not

touch the surface.

If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc, remove
the glue completely before using the disc.

• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources

such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct
sunlight as there can be considerable rise in temperature
inside the car.

• Only regular circular discs can be used in this VIDEO CD

player. Irregularly shaped discs, such as star- or
heart-shaped discs, may damage the player.

On cleaning

• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe

the disc from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner,

commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray
intended for vinyl LPs.
