temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe it
with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with
water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-
static agents.
CAUTION
Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled.
This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to
