6CAUTIONS ON HANDLING DISCS

Discs

Only the discs including the marks shown on page 5 can be
played on the ADV-1000.
Note, however, that discs with special shapes (heart-shaped
discs, hexagonal discs, etc.) cannot be played on the ADV-1000.
Do not attempt to play such discs, as they may damage the
player.

Holding Discs

Avoid touching the surface of discs when loading and unloading
them.
Be careful not to get fingerprints
on the signal surface (the side
which shines in rainbow colors).

Cleaning Discs

2Fingerprints or dirt on the disc may lower sound and picture
quality or cause breaks in playback. Wipe off fingerprints or
dirt.
2Use a commercially available disc cleaning set or a soft cloth
to wipe off fingerprints or dirt.
Wipe gently from the middle
outwards.
Do not wipe with a circular
motion.
NOTE:
• Do not use record spray or antistatic. Also do not use
volatile chemicals such as benzene or thinner.

Cautions on Handling Discs

• Do not get fingerprints, grease or dirt on discs.
• Be especially careful not to scratch discs when removing
them from their cases.
• Do not bend discs.
• Do not heat discs.
• Do not enlarge the center hole.
• Do not write on the labeled (printed) side with a ball-point
pen or a pencil.
• Water droplets may form on the surface if the disc is moved
suddenly from a cold place to a warm one. Do not use a
hairdryer, etc., to dry the disc.

Cautions on Storing Discs

• Always eject discs after playing them.
• Keep discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches and warping.
• Do not put discs in the following places:
1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time
2. Humid or dusty places
3. Places exposed to heat from heaters, etc.

Cautions on Loading Discs

• Only load one disc at a time. Loading one disc on top of
another may result in damage or scratch the discs.
• Load 8 cm discs securely in the disc guide, without using an
adapter. If the disc is not properly loaded, it may slip out of
the guide and block the disc tray.
• Be careful not to let your fingers get caught when the disc
tray is closing.
• Do not place anything but discs in the disc tray.
• Do not load cracked or warped discs or discs that have been
fixed with adhesive, etc.
• Do not use discs on which the adhesive part of cellophane
tape or glue used to attach the label is exposed, or discs
with traces of tape or labels that have been peeled off. Such
discs may get stuck inside the player, resulting in damage.
