The player
CAUTION! This system operates with a laser. It must be opened
by only a qualified technician.
• Never move the player during playback.
• Never put more than one discs on a tray or put a disc
slipping out of the guide area.
Handling discs
• Do not touch the signal
surfaces.

Cleaning discs
• Dirty discs can cause poor
sound and visual quality.
Always keep discs clean by
wiping them gently with a
soft cloth from the inner

cause noise during playback.
• If a disc becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in water, wring it out
well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove any water
drops with a dry cloth.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic agents on discs.
Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile
solvents which may cause damage to disc surface
