Disc Notes

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, 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 ball point pen or pencil as
shown. To do this, press the side of the pen or pencil
against the inside and outside edges of the disc.

Disc Cleaning

Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the surface. If the disc is
quite dirty, use a soft cloth slightly moist with isopropyl
(rubbing) alcohol. Never use solvents such as benzine,
thinner or conventional 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 handling and conditions in the usage environment.
