Disc Handling and Maintenance

Handling Precautions

!Hold the disc by the edges so the surface will not be soiled
with fingerprints. (A)
Fingerprints, dirt and scratches can cause skipping and
distortion.
!Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other
writing utensils.
!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 1 disc on the disc tray.
!Do not try to close the disc tray when the disc is not installed
properly. (B)
!Be sure to store the disc in its exclusive case when not in use.

If the surface is soiled (C)

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 discs using a circular motion, circular scratches
are likely to occur, which will cause noise.)

If the disc is brought from a cold to a

warm environment, moisture may form on

the disc

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