    EnglishTo get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs and
    mechanism clean.
    General Notes
    In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your
    discs, and the mechanism clean.
    • Store discs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.
    • Keep the disc tray closed when not in use.
    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.
    Maintenance
    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
    get its paint peeled off, be careful about the following.
    — DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.
    — DO NOT wipe it strong.
    — DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
    — DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides to
    it.
    — DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact with
    it for a long time.
    DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional record
    cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to clean the disc.
