Handling Discs
Nonstandard Discs
Do not use discs with special shapes (such as hearts or
octagons). Using these discs could damage the unit or
cause it to malfunction.
Handling
Hold discs by the edge, or by the center hole and the
edge, in order to avoid touching the playback surface
(the surface with nothing printed on it).
Do not put stickers or write on the playback or label
surface of the disc. Also be careful not to scratch or
otherwise damage the discs.
Precautions for Storage
Always keep discs in their dedicated cases. Store discs
away from direct sunlight, hot areas (such as near a
heater), and extremely cold areas.
Precautions for Rental Discs
Do not use discs with cellophane tape on them, or
rental discs or the like with loose, peeling, or peeled
labels. Using these discs could damage the unit, or
cause the discs to become stuck in the unit.
Precautions for Inkjet Printable Discs
Do not leave discs whose label sides can be printed
using an inkjet printer in the unit for long periods.
Doing so could cause the disc to become stuck in the
unit, or cause the unit to malfunction. Remove such
discs from the unit when not playing them. Do not use
a disc immediately after printing.
Caring for Discs
Soiling can reduce signal capture, reducing audio and
video quality. If a disc becomes soiled, gently wipe off
fingerprints and dust from the playback surface using a
soft cloth, starting from the inside and working
outward.
if the soiling is severe, dip a soft cloth in water, then
wring it out well, clean off the dirt, and then wipe off
the moisture with a soft cloth. Do not use spray for
analog records, antistatic agents, or the like. Never use
benzine, paint thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Copyrights
Duplication, broadcasting, screening, wired
broadcasting, performance, rental, and loaning (free or
paid) of discs is prohibited by law.
Condensation
Water droplets may form inside the unit if it is brought
from a cold location to a warm room, or if a cold room
is heated quickly (e.g. using a space heater). This
process is called "condensation." If the unit is operated
in this state, it may not function properly, and may even
damage the disc or other components. We recommend
removing discs from the unit when it is not in use.
If there is a risk of condensation, leave the unit for
about an hour after turning on the power before use.
