Disc Care and Maintenance
Optical discs (DVDs, CDs) contain high-density compressed data and need proper handling.
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 subject discs to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high tempera-
tures.
•
•
Do not bend or press discs.
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 off any fingerprints 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 affect 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.
