Handling discs
When holding discs of any type, take care not to leave
fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the
disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge.
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback and recording
performance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of
the disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side,
scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc.,
clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the
center to the outside edge as shown in the diagram below.
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a
commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc
more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other
cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning
vinyl records.
Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable than vinyl
records, you should still take care to handle and store discs
correctly. When you're not using a disc, return it to its case
and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold,
humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight).
Don't 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.
For more detailed care information see the instructions that
come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the player.
Damaged discs
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If you can see
that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise
damaged, don't risk using it; you could end up damaging the
player.
This player is designed for use with conventional, fully
circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended
for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in
connection with the use of shaped discs.
