Correct Disk Handling

Handling Precautions

• If the disk signal surface is contaminated with

fingerprints or other dirt, the disk may become

unreadable. When holding a disk, do not touch the

signal surface. Gently pinch both edges of the disk,

or hold by the center hole and one edge.

• Do not afﬁ x paper or stickers to the disk, or scratch

the disk.

• Do not force a disk into the disk slot while another

disk is already inserted. This may scratch or damage

the disks.

Maintenance

• Periodically clean the disk signal surface. To clean,

use a soft cloth to wipe gently from inside to outside,

without rotating the disk.

• Check that there is no residue in the center hole

and around the circumference of new disks. Using

a disk with residue may cause malfunction, so use a

ballpoint pen, etc., to clean away the residue.

Storage Precautions

• When not in use, make sure to return disks to their

cases and store out of direct sunlight.

• If not using for a long time, make sure to remove

from the device.

Disk Playback Environment

• Using disks in cold ambient temperatures

immediately after turning on the vehicle heater may

cause malfunction due to condensation (water

droplets) forming on the optical parts of the device,

or on the disk. In such cases, remove the disk and

wait a while before use.

• Do not use 8-cm CD adapters. This may cause

malfunction.

• Unauthorized copying, distribution, public

performance, or rental of disks is prohibited by law.
