Handling discs
Storing
Always place discs in their cases and store them ver- tically, avoiding hot, humid places, places exposed to direct sunlight and extremely cold places.
Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.
Cleaning discs
Discs may not play if there are fingerprints or dust on them. In this case, use a cleaning cloth, etc., to gently wipe the disc from the inside towards the outside. Do not use dirty cleaning cloths.
Do not use benzene, thinner or other volatile chemicals. Also do not use record spray or antistatic agents.
For tough dirt, apply some water to a soft cloth, wring out thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the moisture with a dry cloth.
Do not use damaged (cracked or warped) discs.
Do not let the signal surface of discs get scratched or dirty.
Do not place two discs in the disc tray, one on top of the other.
Do not attach pieces of paper or stickers to discs. Doing so could warp discs, making it impossible to play them. Also note that rental discs often have labels attached to them, and the label’s glue may have oozed out. Check that there is no glue around the edges of such labels before using rented discs.
About condensation on discs
Water droplets (condensation) may form on the surface of discs if they are moved from a cold place (particu- larly in winter) into a warm room. Discs may not play normally if there is condensation on them. Carefully wipe the water droplets off the surface of the disc before loading it.
