or by one edge and the hole.

Do not affix labels or adhesive tapes to the label surfaces.

Do not scratch or damage the label. Discs rotate at high speeds inside the player.

Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.

Cleaning discs

• Dirty discs can cause poor

sound and visual quality. Always keep discs clean by wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner

edge toward the outer perimeter. Never wipe the disc in a circu- lar motion since circular scratches are likely to occur and could cause noise during playback.

• If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water drops with a dry cloth.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs. Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents which may cause damage to disc surface

Disc lens care

When your disc lens gets dirty it can also cause the system to output poor sound and visual quality. To clean the lens you will need to purchase a disc lens cleaner which can maintain the output sound and visual quality of your

system. For instructions on cleaning the disc lens, refer to the ones accompanying the lens cleaner.

Important battery information

Remove the batteries to avoid leakage if you do not use your remote control for more than one month.

Discard leaky batteries immediately as leaking batteries may cause skin burns or other personal injuries.

Dispose of batteries in the proper manner, according to provincial and local regulations.

Any battery may leak electrolyte if mixed with a different bat- tery type, if inserted incorrectly, if all batteries are not replaced at the same time, if disposed of in fire, or if an attempt is made

to charge a battery not intended to be recharged.
