Handling CDs

•
Do not write on either side of the disk, particularly the non-label side. Data is read
from the non-label side. Do not mark this surface.
•
Keep your disks away from direct sunlight, heat and excessive moisture.
•
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt or water on the CDs cause
noise or improper tracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with
a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.
