Caring for your CDs and DVDs
A CD/DVD has two sides:
•
The title side tells you which CD/DVD it is.
•
The data side stores all the data.
Remember the following guidelines when handling
your CDs and DVDs:
•
CDs and DVDs are fragile, so when handling your CDs or
DVDs, hold them by the edges to avoid leaving smudges
or fingerprints.
•
Always keep them in a disc case when not in use to
avoid scratches or other damage. Any kind of dirt or
damage can affect the data on the disc, impair the disc
lens reader on the CD and DVD drives, or stop the
computer from successfully reading the disc.
•
To clean your CDs and DVDs, use a clean, dust-free
cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center to the
edge. Continue around the whole disc. (DO NOT wipe
in a circle.) You can also periodically clean your
CD/DVD drive to prevent problems from reading
CDs/DVDs on your computer.
