Disc Precautions

7 Recommended Discs

÷ Use only recommended disc media in
order to assure stable recording and
playback.
÷ Consult the Operating Instructions for
the main unit PRV-LX1 regarding
recommended disc media.

7 Handling of Discs

Discs may become incapable of recording
and playback when scratched, or when
soiled with fingerprints or dust. Always
handle discs as noted below:
÷ Never touch the recording surface
(mirror surface) when handling discs.
Hold discs between their edges, or
between one edge and one finger in
the center hole.
÷ Do not apply adhesive tapes or labels
to discs.
÷ Do not use cracked or warped discs,
since they may shatter dangerously at
high rotation speeds.
÷ Do not use non-standard discs, since
they may cause adverse affects to the
player and other components.
÷ Do not use discs shaped in non-circular
shapes (hearts, polygons, etc.), since
they may cause malfunctions.

÷ To clean fingerprints from a soiled disc,
wipe gently from the center hole
radially toward the circumference. Do
not wipe in a circular motion.
÷ Do not use anti-static or other record
sprays. Also, never use benzene,
thinner or toher volatile cleaners to
clean the surface of discs, since such
chemicals may melt or otherwise
damage the surface.
Always store discs in their protective
cases; before use, check the recording
surface for fingerprints or other soiling.
