Notes on discs
On handling discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by
its edge. Do not touch the surface.
• Do not write on or stick paper or tape to
the surface of the disc.
• Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or paste
on it as this may damage the player.
• Use only a disc with a circle shape. Do not
use a disc with any other shape (star type,
heart type, etc.), as this may damage the
player.
On safekeeping
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight
or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or
leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight
as there can be considerable rise in
temperature inside the car.
• After playing, store the disc in its case.
Piling up discs without cases or leaving
the disc exposed may cause the disc shape
to warp.
On cleaning
• Dirt from a fingerprint or dust causes
picture noise or declining sound quality.
Always keep the disc clean.
• Clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe
the disc from the center out.
• For dirt, clean the disc with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with water, then
remove the moisture with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine,
thinner, commercially available cleaners,
or antistatic spray intended for vinyl LPs.
