Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the
surface can prevent the DVD-ROM drive from reading
the data properly.

Avoid exposing discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or
cold.

To clean a disc that is dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry
cloth. The most efficient method to clean it is to start
from the center of the disc and wipe toward the outward
edge (not in a circle). If necessary, moisten the cloth with
water or a neutral cleaner (not benzine or rubbing
alcohol). Let the disc dry completely before inserting it in
the drive.
