the player to malfunction.

exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or
temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt
adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft
dry cloth, moving from the center

Never use record cleaners, petrol,
alcohol or any anti-static agents.
