Cautions on Handling 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

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.
