Handling discs
Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
Hold the disc by the edges so that fingerprints 
will not get on the surface.
Do not stick paper or tape on the disc.
Storing discs
After playing, store the disc in its case.
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or 
sources of heat, or leave it in a parked car 
exposed to direct sunlight, because it may get 
very hot inside the car.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints and dust on the disc can cause 
poor picture quality and sound distortion. Before 
playing, clean the disc with a clean cloth. Wipe 
the disc from the center outward.
Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, 
benzine, thinner, commercially available 
cleaners, or anti-static spray intended for older 
vinyl records.
