Notes on discs
Before playing, wipe the disc with a cleaning cloth from
the center out to the edge.
Do not clean discs with solvents, such as benzine,
thinner, or commercially available cleaners or anti-
static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources
such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in
direct sunlight.
On safety
Completely disconnect the power cord (mains lead)
from the wall outlet (mains) if it is not going to be used
for an extended period of time. When unplugging the
