Cleaning Discs

•Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause a deterioration of the picture and sound quality. Wipe the disc from the center outwards with a soft cloth. Always keep the discs clean.

•Stubborn dust or dirt can be removed by wiping the disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finishing with a dry cloth.

•Never use solvents such as thinner, benzine, commer- cially available cleaners, or antistatic spray for vinyl LPs. They may damage the disc.

Storing Discs

•Do not store discs in places subject to direct sunlight or near heat sources.

•Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust, such as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.

•Store discs vertically in their case. Stacking or placing objects on unprotected discs may cause warping and scratches.
