DISC INFORMATION EN 11
Care And Handling Of Discs
How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc.
Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be
picked up correctly, and such a
disc may cause the unit to malfunction.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesives on its surface.
Recording side
Make sure that discs are not scratched or dirty on the recording side before use. Scratches and dirt on the recording side of a disc may hinder proper playback and recording. Also be careful that a
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the centre outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any
CAUTION:
Sometimes during playback, noise may appear or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.)
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.
Life Span Of Parts
Cooling fan
Periodical inspection and maintenance are requisite to maintain the initial performance and reliability of the product.
We recommend the exchange of the fan motor every three years.
