Holding a disc
Handle discs by the edges to avoid inadvertently scratching or getting
oil from your fingers on the disc. Do not touch the signal surface of
discs (the shiny side).
Cleaning discs
Discs are not indestructible and occasionally dirt or condensation
may appear. Clean by gently wiping with a soft, dry lint-free cloth in a
straight line from the center of the disc to the edge of the disc.
Return discs to their cases when not in use; this helps to protect
against scratches and dirt.
