Disc Maintenance

Handling Discs:

-Hold the disc by the edges so the surface will not be soiled with finger prints. (Fig. A)

-Do not scratch the disc. Do not write on the label side with a pen.

-Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.

-Do not place more than 1 disk in the tray.

-Do not try to close the disc tray when the disc is not installed in the tray properly. (Fig. B)

-Be sure to store the disc in a disc case after playback.

-Keep the disc away from direct sunlight, heat sources, humid or dusty areas.

Cleaning Discs:

-If the surface of the disc is soiled, wipe the disc outwards from the center with a soft, damp (water only) cloth. (Fig. C)

NOTE: (If you wipe the discs in a circular motion, circular scratches are likely to occur, which will cause noise.)

-Do not use any type of solvent such as thinner, benzine, commercially available cleaners or antistatic spray.

-If the disc is brought from a cold to a warm environment, moisture may form on the disc. W ipe this moisture off with a soft, lint-free cloth before using the disc.

NOTE: CDR and CDRW discs recorded in CD Audio format are also playable.

CAUTION!

CDR/CDRW discs recorded using a personal computer or a CD recorder may not play if the disc is damaged or dirty, or if there is dirt or condensation on the player’s lens.

If you record a disc using a personal computer, even if it is recorded in a compatible format, there are cases in which it may not play because of the settings of the application software used to create the disc. (Check with the software publisher for more detailed information.)
