Handling Discs - Esoteric Grandioso P1x Manual Del Usuario

Handling discs

o Load discs with their labeled sides up .
(CDs only have one playable side . )
o To remove a disc from its case, always press down on the center of
the case first and then hold the disc by its edges .
Removal from case
o Be careful when handling discs . If the side that contains the data
(unlabeled side) is scratched, smudged with fingerprints or other-
wise dirty or marred, errors could occur during playback .
o If the side of the disc that has the data encoded on it (unlabeled
side) becomes dirty with fingerprints or dust, use a soft cloth to
wipe the surface from the center directly toward the edge .
Always clean discs before storing them . Leaving a disc in an
unclean state might degrade its sound quality .
o Never use record cleaners, antistatic treatments, thinners or similar
chemicals to clean discs . Such chemicals could harm the surface
of the disc .
o Do not leave discs in places that are exposed to direct sunlight or
that are very humid or hot .
o When writing something on the label side of a disc, use a felt-tip
permanent marker . The use of a ballpoint pen or other pen with a
hard tip could damage the disc, making it unplayable .
o After you finish playing a disc, always put it back into its case for
storage . Failure to do so could result in warping or scratches .
o Do not apply labels or other materials to discs . Do not use a disc
that has sticky residue left on its surface after removing tape or a
sticker, for example . If such a disc is loaded, it might become stuck
in the unit or damage the unit .
Holding by edges
o Never use commercially-available CD stabilizers . Doing so could
make the disc unplayable or damage the unit .
o Do not use cracked discs because they could damage the unit .
o Never use discs with irregular shapes, including heart-shaped and
octagonal discs, because they could damage the unit .
o Do not use printable discs, which allow printing on the label
side . Since the surface of such a disc has been specially treated, if
loaded, it might become stuck in the unit or damage the unit .
If you have any questions about how to handle a CD-R or
CD-RW disc, contact the manufacturer of the disc directly.
