Handling Discs

Nonstandard Discs

Do not use discs with special shapes (such as hearts or octagons). Using these discs could damage the unit or cause it to malfunction.

Handling

Hold discs by the edge, or by the center hole and the edge, in order to avoid touching the playback surface (the surface with nothing printed on it).

Underside

Do not put stickers or write on the playback or label surface of the disc. Also be careful not to scratch or otherwise damage the discs.

Precautions for Storage

Always keep discs in their dedicated cases. Store discs away from direct sunlight, hot areas (such as near a heater), and extremely cold areas.

Precautions for Rental Discs

Do not use discs with cellophane tape on them, or rental discs or the like with loose, peeling, or peeled labels. Using these discs could damage the unit, or cause the discs to become stuck in the unit.

Precautions for Inkjet Printable Discs

Do not leave discs whose label sides can be printed using an inkjet printer in the unit for long periods. Doing so could cause the disc to become stuck in the unit, or cause the unit to malfunction. Remove such discs from the unit when not playing them. Do not use a disc immediately after printing.

Caring for Discs

Soiling can reduce signal capture, reducing audio and video quality. If a disc becomes soiled, gently wipe off fingerprints and dust from the playback surface using a soft cloth, starting from the inside and working outward.

if the soiling is severe, dip a soft cloth in water, then wring it out well, clean off the dirt, and then wipe off the moisture with a soft cloth. Do not use spray for analog records, antistatic agents, or the like. Never use benzine, paint thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Copyrights

Duplication, broadcasting, screening, wired broadcasting, performance, rental, and loaning (free or paid) of discs is prohibited by law.

Condensation

Water droplets may form inside the unit if it is brought from a cold location to a warm room, or if a cold room is heated quickly (e.g. using a space heater). This process is called "condensation." If the unit is operated in this state, it may not function properly, and may even damage the disc or other components. We recommend removing discs from the unit when it is not in use.

If there is a risk of condensation, leave the unit for about an hour after turning on the power before use.
