Handling
• Do not touch the disc surface when handling a disc; hold it by the edges.
• Do not stick paper or tape onto discs and do not write on discs.
• Fingerprints, dust, dirt or scratches on the disc can distort the picture or reduce
sound quality. Always handle carefully and check that discs are clean before use.
Storage
• Do not expose discs to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight.
• When discs will not be used for an extended period of time, store them in their
cases. Stacking uncased discs or storing them at an angle can cause them to warp.

• Clean discs with a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the centre outwards.
• Do not use solvents, record cleaners, anti-static spray or
other chemicals as these can damage the discs.
