and lift the disc out.
Do not subject discs to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high tem-•
peratures.
Do not bend or press discs. •
To reduce the risk of scratches, always put discs back in their case after use. Store discs •
vertically in a cabinet.
Do not place stickers or labels on either side of a disc.•
Cleaning a Disc
Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe off any ngerprints and dusts from the playing surface of the disc.
Wipe in a straight line radially from the center to the outside edge of the disc. Small dust particles
and light stains will not affect playback quality.
Never use chemicals such as record sprays, anti-static sprays, benzene, or thinners to clean •
a disc. Doing so will damage the surface of the disc permanently.
