Insignia NS-H3005 Home Theater System
Handling discs
Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints
will not get on the surface.
Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or
sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car
exposed to direct sunlight, because it may get
very hot inside the car.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause
poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before
playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe
the disc from the center outward.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol,
benzine, thinner, commercially available
cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older
vinyl records.
