Handling Precautions - Teac LP-P1000 Owner's Manual

Handling precautions

o Always insert the disc into the disc tray with the label
side up. Only one side of a Compact Disc can be
played or used for recording.
o If the side of the disc that the signal is recorded on
(unlabeled side) has scratches, fingerprints or dirt on
it, for example, playback errors could occur. Please
handle discs with care.
o To remove a disc from its case, press down on the
center of the case and hold the disc by its edges.
Do not touch the side of the disc that has the data
encoded on it (unlabeled side).
Removal from case Holding by edges
Storage precautions
o Discs should be stored in their cases when not being
used. Failure to do so could result in warping and
scratches.
o Do not leave discs in places that are exposed to direct
sunlight or that are very humid or hot. Long exposure
to such conditions could warp or degrade discs, mak-
ing them unplayable.
o Since CD-R/CD-RW discs are more susceptible to the
effects of heat and ultraviolet rays compared to com-
mercial CDs, do not leave them for long periods of
time in places that are, for example, exposed to direct
sunlight or near equipment that generate heat.
o Smudges on a disc might cause the sound to skip or
degrade the sound quality. Always clean discs before
storing them.
Maintenance
o If the side of the disc that has the data encoded on
it (unlabeled side) becomes dirty with fingerprints
or dust, use a soft cloth to wipe the surface from the
center directly toward the edge.
o Never use record cleaners, antistatic treatments,
thinners or similar chemicals to clean discs. Such
chemicals could harm the surface of the disc.
