Notes On Discs - Sony SCD XA5400ES Operating Instructions Manual

On transporting the player
• Before transporting the player, be sure to remove the
disc from the player, and close the disc tray.
• Before transporting the player, be sure to disconnect
any connecting cables. If an XLR (balanced) cable is
connected, the player and the connected components
may be damaged.
On inserting a disc
When you insert a disc into the player, you may hear a
transmission or a mechanical sound from the player.
This indicates that the player is automatically adjusting
its internal mechanisms according to the inserted disc.
You may also hear the mechanical sound from the
player when you insert a warped disc.
Note
For Super Audio CD players, it may take a longer time
from when a disc is loaded until the disc is played, than
that for CD players. This is not a malfunction. Because
a Super Audio CD player must determine the type of
disc inserted, adjust the servo mechanism, confirm
copyright information, etc., automatically, it takes a
longer time to start playback of a Super Audio CD.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on Discs

On handling discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge.
Do not touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
• Use only round-shaped discs. If you use a special
shaped disc (e.g., star-shaped, heart-shaped, or
square-shaped, etc.), the player may be damaged.
• Do not use a disc with a seal attached on such as on
a used disc or rental disc.
On keeping discs
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts.
• After playing, store the disc in its case. If you put it
on top of another disc without the case, the disc may
be damaged.
On placing discs on the disc tray
Make sure the disc is positioned securely on the tray.
If not, the player or the disc may be damaged.
On cleaning
• If the disc is dirty with fingerprints or dust, it may
lessen the quality of the audio out.
• Before playing, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out.
• Clean the disc with a soft cloth slightly moistened
with water, and remove moisture with a dry cloth.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, record
cleaners, or anti-static spray.
• Do not use a commercially available cleaning disc or
disc/lens cleaner (wet or spray type). These may
cause apparatus to malfunction.
