4. CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
Handling Discs
Handling
• New discs may have some roughness
around the edges. If such discs are used,
the player may not work or the sound may
skip. Use a pen or similar tool to remove
any roughness from the edge of the disc.
Ball-point pen
Roughness
• Never stick labels on the surface of the
disc or mark the surface with a pencil or
pen.
• Never play a disc with any cellophane
tape or other glue on it or with peeling off
marks. If you try to play such a disc, you
may not be able to get it back out of the
player or it may damage the player.
• Do not use discs that have large
scratches, are misshapen, cracked,
etc. Use of such discs may cause
misoperation or damage.
• To remove a disc from its storage case,
press down on the center of the case and
lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the
edges.
• Do not use commercially available disc
protection sheets or discs equipped with
stabilizers, etc. These may damage the
disc or cause breakdown of the internal
mechanism.
Storage
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or
any heat source.
• Do not expose discs to excess humidity or
dust.
• Do not expose discs to direct heat from
heaters.
Cleaning
• To remove fingermarks and dust, use a
soft cloth and wipe in a straight line from
the center of the disc to the outer edge.
• Do not use any solvents, such as
commercially available cleaners, anti-
static spray, or thinner to clean discs.
• After using special disc cleaner, let the
disc dry off well before playing it.
On Discs
• Never turn off the power and remove the
unit from the car with a disc loaded.

insert or eject a disc while driving.
