On Cleaning discs
• Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause sound deterioration. Wipe
the disc from the center outwards with a soft cloth. Always keep
the disc clean.
• If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc
lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry
cloth.
• Do not use any type of solvent such as thinner, benzine, commer-
cially available cleaners or antistatic spray for vinyl LPs. It may
damage the disc.
On storing Discs
• Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or near
heat sources.
• Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust such as
bathroom or near a humidifier.
• Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing objects on
discs outside of their case may cause warping.
