General Notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your discs clean.
• Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on
shelves.
Cleaning the unit
• Stains on the unit
Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily
stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral
detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or have its paint peel off, be careful about the
following:
– DO NOT wipe it with a rough cloth.
– DO NOT wipe it too vigorously.
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as an
insecticide to it.
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact
with it for a long time.
Handling discs
• Remove the disc from its case by
holding it at the edge while pressing
the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the
disc, or bend the disc.
• Put the disc back in its case after use
to prevent warping.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface
of the disc when placing it back in
its case.
•Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,
temperature extremes, and moisture.
To clean the disc
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.
DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional
record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to clean
the disc.
