Handling
Hold compact discs so that you do not touch the playing surface.
÷Do not attach paper or tape to either the playing side or the label side of compact discs.
÷The paste left on the label surface after a sticker has been peeled off is a factor which may cause malfunction. If the surface is sticky due to remaining paste, be sure to clean it with alcohole before use.
If fingerprints or foreign matter become attached to the disc, lightly wipe the disc with a soft cotton cloth (or similar) from the center of the disc outwards in a radial manner.

When a disc is not to be played for a long period of time, remove it from the CD player and store it in its case.
