About Optical Discs
Handling a Disc
Hold a DVD/CD by its edges. Avoid touching the recorded side of
the disc. To remove a DVD/CD from its storage case, press down on
the center retention mechanism of the case and lift the disc out.
Do not bend or press discs.
Do not subject discs to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, high
humidity, or high temperatures.
To reduce the risk of scratches, always put discs back in their case
after use. Store discs vertically in a cabinet.
Do not place stickers or labels on either side of a disc.
Cleaning a Disc
Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe o any ngerprints and dusts from the
playing surface of the disc. Wipe in a straight line radially from the
center to the outside edge of the disc. Small dust particles and light
stains will not aect playback quality.
Never use chemicals such as record sprays, anti-static sprays,
benzene, or thinners to clean a disc. Doing so will damage the
surface of the disc permanently.
