Disc Handling & Maintenance
Handling Precautions
• Hold the disc by the edges so
the surface will not be soiled
with fingerprints.
• Fingerprints, dirt and scratches
can cause skipping and
distortion.
• Do not write on the label side
with a ball-point pen or other
writing utensil.
• Do not use record cleaning
sprays, benzine, thinner, static
electricity prevention liquids, or
any other solvent.
• Be careful not to drop or bend
the disc.
• Do not insert more than one
disc in the disc tray.
• Do not try to close the disc tray
when the disc is not installed
properly.
• Be sure to store the disc in its
original case when not in use.
If the surface is soiled
• Wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth.
• When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the
center hole toward the outer edge. (If you wipe the
disc using a circular motion, circular scratches are
likely to occur, which will cause noise.)
If the disc is brought from a cold to a warm
environment, moisture may form on the disc
• Wipe moisture off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth
before using the disc.
Improper disc storage
You can damage discs if you store them in the
following places:
• Areas exposed to direct sunlight
• Humid or dusty areas
• Areas directly exposed to a heat outlet or heating
appliance

or other chemicals. And do not use compressed air
