Disc Precautions

Proper Disc Storage

Place the disc in the center of the disc case and store the case and disc upright.

Avoid storing discs in locations subject to direct sunlight, next to heating appliances or in locations of high humidity.

Do not drop discs or subject them to strong vibrations or impacts.

Avoid storing discs in locations where there are large amounts of dust or locations where mold tends to grow easily.

Handling Precautions

If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.

Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static electricit prevention liquids or any other solvent.

Do not touch the surface.

Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc.

If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the recorder may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject the disc tray, or it may fail to play the disc correctly. Wipe any soiling off the playing surface with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the Pick Up Lens

Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use of these discs can damage the lens.

Request cleaning of the lens to the nearest Sharp Authorized Service Center.

Warning of Dew Formation

Dew may form on pick up lens or disc in the following conditions:

Immediately after a heater has been turned on.

In a steamy or very humid room.

When dew forms:It becomes difficult for the recorder to read the signals on the disc and prevents the recorder from operating properly.

To remove dew: Take out the disc and leave the power on for about 1 hour. The recorder will again operate proprely when the dew has evaporated.
