The presence of fingerprints or smudges on the surface of the
disc will not directly affect the recorded signals, but depending

the brightness of the light
reflected from the signal surfaces may be reduced,
causing
degradation of sound quality. Always keep your discs clean by
wiping them gently with a soft cloth from the inner edge toward
the outer periphery.
If a disc becomes very dirty, dip a soft cloth in water, and after
wringing it out well, wipe the dirt away gently, and then remove
any water drops with another soft, dry cloth.
Do not use record cleaning sprays or anti-static agents on discs.
Also, never clean discs with benzene, thinner, or other volatile
solvents, since damage to the disc surface may result.

do not scratch or damage the label.
Discs rotate at high speed inside the player. Do not use darnaged
(cracked or warped) discs.
