Do not glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a 
pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing 
instrument. These could all damage the disc.
 Storing discs
Always store discs in their cases, and place the cases 
vertically, avoiding places exposed to high temperatures 
or humidity, direct sunlight or extremely low 
temperatures.
Be sure to read the cautions included with the disc.
 Cleaning discs
It may not be possible to play the disc if there are 
fingerprints or dust on it. In this case, using a cleaning 
cloth, etc., to wipe the disc gently from the center toward 
the outer edge. Do not use a dirty cleaning cloth.
Do not use benzene, thinner or other volatile chemicals. 
Also do not use record spray or antistatic agents.
For tough dirt, apply some water to a soft cloth, wring out 
thoroughly, wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the moisture 
with a dry cloth.
 Specially shaped discs
Specially shaped discs (heart-shaped, hexagonal, etc.) 
cannot be used on this player. Never use such discs, as 
they will damage the player.
 Condensation on discs
If the disc is moved suddenly from a cold place into a 
warm room (in winter, for example), water droplets 
(condensation) may form on the disc surface. Discs will 
not play properly if there is condensation on them. 
Carefully wipe off the water droplets from the disc surface 
before using the disc.
