.. Handling and Cleaning

.. Dirt, dust, scratches and warped 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 to

disc.

.. Do not place discs in the following places:

1. Direct sunlight.

2. Dirty, dusty and damp areas.

3. Near any heat sources.

4. On the seats or dashboard.

Disc Cleaning

Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the surface. If the disc is quite dirty, use a soft cloth slightly moistured with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. Never use solvents such as benzine, thinner or conventional record cleaners as they may mar the surface of the disc.

Preparing New 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, disc may not be clamped correctly and the player will not play the disc. Therefore, remove the rough edges in advance by using a ballpoint pen or pencil as shown below. To remove the rough edges, run the side of the pen or pencil around the inside and outside diameters of the disc.

Note: 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 environment. Note that these scratches are not an indication of any problem with the player.
