Notes About the Discs • To keep the disc clean, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the surface. Dust, fingerprints, or scratches on the disc may cause it to malfunction. • Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, or leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as the temperature may rise considerably inside the car. • After playing, store the disc in its case. • Clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out. • Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available disc/ lens cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs. • If you have printed the disc's label, dry the label before playing. • Do not use the following discs. - A lens cleaning disc. - A disc that has a nonstandard shape (e.g., card, heart). - A disc with a label or sticker on it. - A disc that has cellophane tape or sticker adhesive on it. • Do not resurface the playing side of a disc to remove surface scratches. Precautions On placement • Place the player in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the player. • Do not place the player on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes. • Do not install this player in a confined space, such as a bookshelf or similar unit. • Do not place the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical shock. • Do not place the player outdoors, in vehicles, on ships, or on other vessels. • If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the player. Should this occur, the player may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and leave the player turned on for about half an hour until the moisture evaporates. • Do not install the player in an inclined position. It is designed to be operated in a horizontal position only. • Do not place metal objects in front of the front panel. It may limit reception of radio waves. • Do not place the player in a place where medical equipment is in use. It may cause a malfunction of medical instruments. 4
