Notes on Discs

On handling discs

To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface.

Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.

If there is glue (or a similar substance) on the disc, remove the glue completely before using the disc.

Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

After playing, store the disc in its case.

Do not use discs fitted with a protection ring. This may cause the system to malfunction.

On cleaning

Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Playing unit

 

The disc changer consists of a playing unit, trays which hold the discs, and a stocker which transports the discs on their trays to the disc slot and the playing unit.

For example, if you press DISC 3, the stocker moves until the DISC 3 tray comes to the position of the playing unit and then moves the DISC 3 tray over the playing unit. If you press Aof DISC 4 while playing DISC 3, the stocker leaves the DISC 3 tray over the playing unit, moves so that the DISC 4 tray comes to the position of the disc cover, opens the disc cover and pushes out the DISC 4 tray (EXCHANGE mechanism).

Note

Noise may come from the disc changer when changing discs or turning the system on and off. However, this is just noise produced by the operation of the internal mechanisms and does not indicate a malfunction.
