Taking Care Of Your Discs - Pioneer PDV-20 Operating Instructions Manual

Taking care of your
discs
When holding discs, take care not to leave
fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc
surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the
center hole and edge. Damaged or dirty
discs can affect playback performance.
Take care also not to scratch the label side
of the disc. Although not as fragile as the
recorded side, scratches can still result in a
disc becoming unusable.
Should a disc become marked with
fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft,
dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the
center to the outside edge as shown on the
next page. If necessary, use a cloth soaked
in alcohol, or a commercially available
CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more
thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or
other cleaning agents, including products
designed for cleaning vinyl records.
• Wipe lightly from the center of the disc
using straight strokes.
07 Additional Information
Storing discs
Although CDs and DVDs are reasonably
durable, you should still take care to
handle and store discs correctly. When
you're not using a disc, return it to its case
and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in
excessively cold, humid, or hot environ-
ments (including under direct sunlight).
Don't glue paper or put stickers on discs, or
write on them using a pencil, ball-point
pen or other sharp-tipped writing
instrument.
Discs to avoid
Discs spin at high speed inside the player
during playback. If you can see that a disc
is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise
damaged, don't risk using it—you could
end up damaging the player.
This player is designed for use with
conventional, fully circular discs only. Use
of shaped discs is not recommended.
Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in
connection with the use of shaped discs.
