Disc Handling

Handling Precautions

• Hold the disc by the edges so the surface will not be soiled with fingerprints. (A)
Fingerprints, dirt and scratches can cause skipping and distortion.
• Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing implements.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids or
any other solvent.
• Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.
• Do not install more than 1 disc on the disc tray.
• Do not try to close the disc tray when the disc is not installed properly.
• Be sure to store the disc in its exclusive case when not in use.

If the surface is soiled (B)

• Wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth.
• When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the center hole toward the outer edge.
(If you wipe the discs using a circular motion, circular scratches are likely to occur, which
will cause noise.)
• If the disc is brought from a cold to a warm environment, moisture may form on the disc.
Wipe the moisture off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc.

Improper disc storage

You can damage discs if you store them in the following places:
• Areas exposed to direct sunlight.
• Humid or dusty areas.
• Areas directly exposed to a heat outlet or heating appliance.
