Sometime during the past month, I read a discussion about techniques for disassembling a jewel box. I thought that discussion was here in this notefile, but I can't find it. It must have been in the USENET net.audio news group. Now that I want to open a jewel box (to correct an inverted back card), can someone tell me how to do it without destroying the box? -- Ward

I believe it was here - in that I made the entry and am not on USENET. 1) Open the box & remove (and safely store - face up) the disk 2) CAREFULLY pry the light grey plastic up from the clear plastic at the points at the top and bottom about half way between the disk center and the edge of the box. The grey plastic part should POP out. 3) Do whatever work you want and then just reposition the grey part and snap it carefully into place. Bruce | |||||

RE: .1 I found instruction #2 to be a little confusing. Allow me to offer the following clarification: 2) CAREFULLY pry the light grey plastic up from the clear plastic, starting at the cut-away section of the box (where you pickup the disc) and working away from the hinge. The grey plastic part should POP out. It worked great, with no tools other than my fingers! -- Ward P.S. Your player is a great place to "safely store" the disc. | |||||

The grey plastic "liner" is held into the clear outer box by pins that insert into holes in the outer box. You can use a ballpoint pen to push the pins in (they are mounted in tabs, which have a certain amount of give), to remove the inner plastic. | |||||

I've never had any trouble remving the disc-holder from the jewel-box with the disc still in it. We seem to buy a lot of discs with the edge title in Japanese only on the hinge edge (the top edge as disc boxes fit into our storage system) and in English on the "bottom" edge, necessitating turning over the back insert. PS - Discs packaged this way often have the liner notes ONLY in Japanese, too! Usually these have been Denon discs, and lately the liner notes have been appearing in the usual multi-lingual format, though the edge titles are often still Japanese on the "top" edge. | |||||
