Disc Handling & Maintenance

Handling Precautions

•Hold the disc by the edges so the surface will not be

soiled with ﬁ ngerprints.

• Fingerprints, dirt and scratches can cause skipping and distortion.

•Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing utensil.

•Do not use record cleaning

sprays, benzine, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids, or any other solvent.

•Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.

•Do not install more than one disc on the disc tray.

If the surface is soiled

• Wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth.

• When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge. (If you wipe the disc using a circular motion, circular scratches are likely to occur, which will cause noise.)

•Wipe moisture off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc.
