Disc Care

How to hold discs

When loading or removing discs, try not to touch their playing surfaces.

Cleaning

Fingerprints or other dirt on the disc may affect sound and picture quality.

To clean your discs, use a soft clean cloth to wipe them. If necessary, moisten a soft cloth with diluted neutral detergent to remove heavy dirt or fingerprints.

Do not wipe in a circular direction (Concentric scratches in the disc groove tend to cause noise.)

Gently wipe from the inside toward the outer edge.

Discs must not be cleaned with record cleaning sprays, or static prevention sprays, etc. Also do not use volatile liquids such as benzine, or thinner, etc.

Never play cracked or warped discs

The disc revolves in the player at high speed when it is played. Never play a cracked,

scratched or warped disc. This may damage the player or cause it to malfunction.

Never use discs with special shapes

CD’s with special shapes (heart-shaped CDs, octagonal CDs, etc.) cannot be played on this

set.

Attempting to do so may damage the set. Do not use such CDs.

After using discs, store them upright

After playing a disc, always remove it from the player and return it to its jacket. Then store it standing upright away from heat and humidity.

Store discs carefully. If you store discs at an angle, or stacked on top of each other, discs may become warped even when in their jackets.

Do not leave discs in locations such as the seat of a car, which may become excessively hot.
