Disc Handling Care
●
Before using a disc, carefully read the operating/
handling instructions and package of the disc.
●
If the discs are not handled appropriately, they
may become dirty or scratched. Furthermore the
writing speed may get slower and the data may
not be correctly written on or read from the disc.
Other damage may cause a drive failure.
●
Note the following precautions.
• Do not touch the disc surface (the side with no
printing).
• Keep the disc surface clean and free from dirt,
dust, fingerprints and scratches.
• Do not write on the surface of the disc with a
ballpoint pen or other writing instrument.
• Do not attach stickers to discs.
• Do not drop, bend, or place heavy objects on
top of discs.
• Do not place or store discs in locations exposed
to heat, direct sunlight, humidity or dust.
• If a disc is brought from a cold to a warm loca-
tion, condensation may form on the disc.
For read-only discs, wipe off the condensation
using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the
disc. For recordable/rewritable discs, wait until
the condensation dries.
• When not using discs, keep them in their pro-
tective cases or cartridges.
To clean discs
<For read-only discs>
Wipe discs with a dry, soft cloth from the center
toward the edge.
If discs get very dirty, wipe with a moist, soft cloth
from the center toward the edge, then wipe again
with a dry cloth to take up remaining moisture.
<For recordable/rewritable discs>
Use the recordable/rewritable disc cleaner to
clean these discs.
Do not use a cloth, CD cleaners or any other such
cleaners under any circumstances.
