Handling of disc

When holding a CD-R, CD-RW or CD disc, be careful not to leave a fingerprint, dirt or a scratch on the signal- recording side. Hold the disc by placing your fingers on the edge or across the center hole and edge. A disc containing a fingerprint, dirt or a scratch can sometimes become unusable for recording or playback.

Be careful not to scratch the label side. A scratched disc can sometimes become unusable for recording or playback.

The disc rotates at a high speed inside the player. Do not attempt to use an abnormal disc (cracked disc, extremely warped disc, etc.).

Do not play a CD with a special shape

Do not play a CD having other shape than a circular disc, such as a heart shaped disc. Otherwise malfunction may occur.

Disc maintenance

When a disc is stained with a fingerprint or dust, the signal recorded on the disc itself is not affected but such a stain could degrade the sound quality by reducing the brightness of the light reflected from the signal recording side. Therefore, always try to keep the disc surface clean. For cleaning, use a soft cloth which is either dry or soaked in alcohol and wipe with a light force in straight directions from the center toward the edge.

Do not wipe in a circular

center toward the edge.

For disc cleaning, it is recommended to use an optional disc cleaning kit.

Do not use record spray or antistatic agent. Also take care that volatile chemicals such as benzine and thinner do not spill on the disc, for these substances may corrode the surface.

Disc storage

The CD-R, CD-RW and CD discs are made of plastic material just like analog record so. When storing a disc, take care so that it does not warp. Always put it in its case and stand the case upright and avoid places subject to direct sunlight, high temperatures, high humidity and extremely low temperatures. It is not recommended to leave the case on a car seat because the seat of a car in direct sunlight can become unbelievably hot.

Be sure to read the instructions provided with the disc.

Do not stick paper or seals on the label surface.

Make sure the label surface is not scratched or damaged. Scratched or damaged surfaces may result in playback or recording failure.

Use only a felt pen sold on the market or similar pen to write on the label. Never use a writing instrument with a hard point (ballpoint pen, pencil, etc.), as this will damage the disc.
