To prevent a malfunction of this
system:
• Do not use any nonstandard shaped disc
(heart etc.) available on the market
because it might damage the system.
• Do not use a disc with tape, seals, or
paste on it. If you use such a disc, a disc may get stuck
in the system, or damage to the system may result.
Notes about handling discs
• Always handle the disc with care so that its surface is not
scratched.
• Discs are not subjected to wear during play, but damage to the
disc surface when the disc is being handled can adversely
affect the disc’s play.
• Be sure to use a felt-tip pen or similar writing tool when
writing on the label side of the disc. Do not use a ball-point
pen, pencil, or other hard-tipped writing tool, as these may
damage the disc and may adversely affect the disc’s play.
• Do not warp discs.
• When a disc is not currently being used, remove it from the
system and store in an appropriate case.
• When removing or storing a disc, be careful not to scratch the
playing surface.
• Discs are not affected by small particles of dust or fingerprints
on their playing surface, but even so they should be kept clean.
Wipe by using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular
motion; wipe straight outward from the center.
• Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of disc
cleaner, record spray, anti-static spray or liquid, or any other
chemical-based liquid because such substances might
irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature or
high humidity for a long period of time because these might
warp or otherwise damage the disc.
No!
To play an 8-cm CD
Place it in the inner recessed area of the disc tray. Do not put a
