Cautions on loading discs
• Only load one disc at a time. Loading two or more discs can damage
the set or scratch the discs.
• Do not use cracked or warped discs or discs that have been repaired
with adhesive, etc.
• Do not use discs on which the sticky part of cellophane tape or
labels is exposed or on which there are traces of where labels have
been removed. Such discs could get caught inside the player and
damage it.
Cautions on handling
•Do not get fingerprints, oil or dirt on discs.
•Take special care not to scratch discs when removing them from
their cases.
• Do not bend or heat discs.
• Do not enlarge the hole at the center.
• Do not write on the labeled (printed) surface with ball-point pens,
pencils, etc., or stick new labels on discs.
•Water droplets may form on discs if they are moved suddenly from
a cold place (outdoors for example) to a warm place, but do not try
to dry them off using a hairdryer, etc.
Cautions on storing discs
• Be sure to remove discs after using them.
• Be sure to store discs in their cases to protect them from dust,
scratches, warping, etc.

1. Places exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time
2. Dusty or humid places
