Media Care

Caring for your Media (DVD/CD/CD-R/BD)
Media discs are precision devices and will function reliably if given reasonable care.
• Always store your media disc in its case when it is not in use.
• Always handle discs by the edges and avoid touching the surface.
• Avoid storing any media discs in extreme temperatures.
• Do not bend media discs or set heavy objects on them.
• Do not spill liquids on media discs.
• Do not scratch or get dust on media discs.
• Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen or pencil. Always use a felt pen.
• If a media disc is subjected to a sudden change in temperature, cold to warm condensation may form
on the surface. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free cloth and let it dry at room
temperature. DO NOT use a hair dryer or heater to dry media discs.
• If a disc is dirty, use only a DVD/CD cleaner or wipe it with a clean, soft, lint free cloth.
