HANDLING AND CLEANING

■

Dirt, dust, scratches, and warping discs will cause misoperation.

Do not place stickers or make scratches on discs.

■

Do not warp discs.

■

A disc should always be kept in its case when not in use to prevent damage.

■

Do not place discs in the following places:

1. Direct sunlight.

2. Dirty, dusty, and damp areas.

3. Near car heaters.

4. On the seats or dashboard.

DISC CLEANING

Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the surface. If the

tened with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Never

use solvents such as benzine, thinner, or con-

ventional record cleaners as they may mar the

surface of the disc.

NOTE: A disc may become somewhat scratched (although

not enough to make it unusable) depending on how it is handled and conditions in the usage environment. These scratches are not an indication of any problem with the player.
