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.

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
