Disc Handling Notes
When loading or unloading discs, it is best to
hold them by the edges.
While Compact Discs are very reliable, rough
handling may damage them. Avoid scratching the
bottom (non-printed) side of discs, or any
handling which will leave fingerprints.
To avoid damage to the disc and player, always
seat discs so that they are centered in the tray.
Do not lift the player while the disc tray is
opening or closing, as this may cause the disc to
unseat from the tray and possibly jam.
