Cleaning discs

When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out. Do not wipe in a circular motion.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic spray intended for analog records.

Avoid high temperatures, moisture, water and dust

Do not expose the system, batteries or discs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).

Avoid condensation problem

The lens may cloud over when the controller is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it impossible to play a disc. Leave the controller in the warm environment until the moisture evaporates.

Disc care

Write only on the printed side of a CD-R/RW, DVD-R/-RW/-R DL, DVD+R/+RW/+R DL and only with a soft felt tipped pen.

Handle the disc by its edge; do not touch the surface.

Lens care

Basically, lens cleaning is not necessary.

Do not use lens cleaner because it may cause malfunction.

Cabinet care

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia, or abrasives.

Choosing a suitable location

Place the controller on a flat, hard, and stable surface.
