ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION
The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front
side of the disc, and the side on which the label is
printed is the back.
Unlike conventional turntables for playing analog
discs, the ER2500 reads the information recorded on
the disc from underneath without contacting it using
a beam of laser light. Therefore, the performance of
a compact disc will not degrade like conventional
analog records.
Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or
scratch the front side.
To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the
following locations:
• In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a
heater.
• In a place which is damp or dirty.
• In a place which could be exposed to rain, such
as near a window.
Always keep the disc surface clean.
When cleaning the disc surface, always be sure to
use a special compact disc cleaner and wipe as
shown below.
• Do not use conventional record cleaner for
analog records, as this will adversely affect the
disc surface.
Store discs properly by placing them in their
disc cases.
