Handle the disc by its edge to avoid getting fingerprints on the label side
or rubbing off lettering.
Never touch the recording surface of the disc. Further, never place the disc
on a hard surface with the recording surface facing downward.
To prevent blurring of label lettering, keep the disc away from water and
volatile solvents such as alcohol.
