Notes on Discs

This section shows you how to handle, clean, and store
discs.
< Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label
side uppermost. (DVD can be recorded and compact
discs can be played only on one side. Some pre-
recorded DVDs can be played on both sides)
< To remove a disc from its storage case, press down
on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding
it carefully by the edges.
A How to remove the disc
B How to hold the disc
< Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radi-
ally (from the center hole outward towards the outer
edge) with a soft, dry cloth :
< Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antista-
tic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the
discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to
the disc's plastic surface.
< Discs should be returned to their cases after use to
avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to "skip."
< Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidi-
ty and temperature for extended periods. Long expo-
sure to high temperatures will warp the disc.
< Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or
damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable
harm to the playing mechanisms.
< Recordable discs are more sensitive to the effects of
heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is
important that they are not stored in a location where
direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away
from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-gen-
erating electrical devices.
< Printable discs are not recommended, as the label
side might be sticky and damage the unit.
< Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs
and do not use any protective coating spray.
< Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the infor-
mation on the label side. Never use a ball-point or
hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the
recorded side.
< Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available
CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mecha-
nisms and cause them to malfunction.
< Do not use irregular shape discs (octagonal, heart
shaped, business card size, etc.). Discs of this type
can damage the unit:
< If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of
a recordable disc, read the precautions supplied
with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer
directly.
