Do not expose the console to cigarette smoke or dust

When setting up the console, avoid places subject to excessive cigarette smoke or dust. Cigarette smoke residue or dust build-up on internal components such as the lens, may cause the console to malfunction.

Disc handling

• Do not leave discs near a heat source, in direct sunlight, or in high humidity.

• Store discs in their cases when they are not being used.

Stacking discs or standing them at an angle without putting them in their cases can cause the discs to warp.

• Do not touch the disc surface when handling a disc; hold it by the edges.

• Do not stick paper or tape onto the disc.

• Do not write on the disc with a marker, etc.

• Fingerprints or dust on the disc can distort the picture

or reduce sound quality. Make sure discs are always clean before use.

• Clean discs using a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the centre outwards.

• Do not use solvents such as benzene, commercially available cleaners not intended for CD use or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs since these can damage the disc.

Do not place the console in an unusually hot location

Do not leave the console in a car with its windows closed (particularly in summer) as this may warp the exterior of the console or cause the console to malfunction.

Moisture condensation

If the console or the disc is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense on the lens inside the console or on the disc. Should this occur, the console may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and do not put the disc back in until the moisture evaporates. (This could take several hours.)
