Be careful about scratches and dirt.
∫ If there is dirt or condensation on the disc
Wipe with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.
∫ Handling precautions
≥Do not attach labels or stickers to discs. (This may cause disc 
warping and unbalanced rotation, rendering it unusable.)
≥Write on the label side of the disc only with a soft, oil-based felt 
pen. Do not use ballpoint pens or other hard writing implements.
≥Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static 
electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.
≥Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.
≥Do not drop, stack, or cause impact to discs. Do not place objects 
on them.
≥Do not use the following discs:
- Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels 
(rental discs etc.).
- Discs that are badly warped or cracked.
- Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart shapes.
≥Do not place in the following areas:
- In direct sunlight.
- In very dusty or humid areas.
- Near a heater.
- Locations susceptible to significant differences in temperature 
changes (condensation can occur).
- Where static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur.
≥To protect discs from scratches and dirt, return them to their cases 
or cartridges when you are not using them.
