Caring For Cds And Dvds; Setting Up For Communications - Toshiba Satellite 1805 Series User Manual

Caring for CDs and DVDs

Store your discs in their original containers to protect them
from scratches and keep them clean.
Never bend a disc or place heavy objects on top of it.
Never apply a label to, or otherwise mar, the surface of a disc.
Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the surface of
a disc can prevent the CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive
from reading the data properly.
Avoid exposing discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or
cold.
To clean a disc, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth — starting from
the center of the disc and wiping toward the outward edge.
Avoid wiping using a circular motion. 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.
