raised because of high external temperature.

damage or warp. Lexus does not recommend using 8 cm
(3.2 in.) discs.Never attempt to disassemble or oil any part of the player
unit. Do not insert any object other than a disc into the
magazine.

player.
A new disc may have rough edges on its inner and outer
perimeter. Remove the rough edges by pressing the side
of a ball-point pen or pencil against the inner and outer
perimeter of the disc as shown.
If you continue to play a disc with rough edges, flakes will fall
on to the signal side of the disc and cause sound skipping or
other problems.
