Disc Handling Notes
When loading or unloading discs, it is
best to hold them by the edges.

of discs, or any handling which will leave
fingerprints.

To avoid damage to the disc and player,
always seat discs so that they are centered
in the tray.

Do not lift the player while the disc tray 
is opening or closing, as this may cause
the disc to unseat from the tray and 
possibly jam.
