Care of discs

7 Handling discs

• Do not apply seals or adhesive labels to the surface of a
disc. Glue leaking from label edges can cause damage to
the player.
• Discs with labels should not be used until confirming that
no glue can leak from the edges.
• Do not touch the signal surface of a disc.
• Do not use cracked or broken discs.
• Handle discs carefully to avoid scratching or soiling the
surfaces.

7 Storing discs

• Always replace discs in their plastic jewel cases or sleeves,
and store vertically in a location not exposed to direct sun-
light, avoiding high temperatures or humidity, or very cold
temperatures.
• Read all manufacturers' warnings supplied with discs.
Cleaning Care of the Unit
• Normal cleaning should consist of dry wiping the unit with
a soft cloth. In the event of severe soiling, make a dilution
of 1 part neutral deutergent in 5 or 6 parts water. Dip a
soft cloth in the solution and wring well, then wipe away
the dirt, followed by a gentle wiping with a soft dry cloth.
• Avoid contact of the unit with alcohol, thinner, benzene,
insecticides or other similar chemicals, since they may
cause the unit's labeling or finish to peel.
• Avoid long term contact of the unit with rubber or vinyl
objects, since damage to the cabinet finish may result.
• When using a chemically impregnated cleaning cloth, read
the instructions accompanying the cloth and follow all cau-
tionary notes.
• Disconnect the power cord from its outlet before perform-
ing cleaning.

7 Care of discs
• Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance.
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc.,
clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from
center to outside edge as shown in the illustration. Wipe
lightly from the center of the disc, using straight strokes.
Do not wipe the disc surface using circular motions.
• Never use benzene or other volatile cleaners, including
products designed for cleaning or eliminating static elec-
tricity from vinyl records.
• If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commer-
cially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more
thoroughly.
• In the event of severe soiling, dip a soft cloth in water,
wring it out thoroughly and wipe away the soiling, using
straight strokes from center to outside edge. Then dry the
disc wiping with a soft dry cloth.
7 Discs to avoid
This unit is designed for use only with conventional circular
discs, and cannot be used to play discs of unusual shapes

to the player, and should be strictly avoided.
