cracked discs. These could severely damage
the playback mechanism.Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of a disc

If the surface is heavily soiled, dampen a clean
soft cloth in a solution of mild neutral detergent
to wipe it clean. See drawing.

tive cassette case. When the vehicle is very hot
