DISC HANDLING

Disc Cleaning

DISC CLEANING

Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the surface. If the disc is dirty, use a soft cloth slightly damp­ened with rubbing alcohol. Never use solvents such as benzene, thinner or conventional
record cleaners as they may scratch the surface of the disc.

A disc may become somewhat scratched (although not enough to make it unusable)
depending on the way it is handled and conditions in the usage envi
these scratches are not an indication of any problem with the player.

ronment. Note

Preparing New Discs with Rough Spots

PREPARING DISCS WITH ROUGH SPOTS

A new disc may have rough edges on its inside and outside edges. If a disc with rough
edges is used, the proper setting will not be performed and the player will not play the disc.
Therefore, remove the rough edges in advance by using a ballpoint pen or pencil as shown
on the right. To remove the rough edges, press the side of the pen or pencil against the in­side and outside edges of the disc.
