Handling Discs
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift
the disc out.
Hold the disc by the edges, to avoid touching the recorded side of the disc.
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped from the disc's surface with a soft
cloth. CDs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris so gently wiping
with a soft cloth should remove most particles.
Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles
and light stains should have no effect on reproduction quality.
Never use chemicals such as record sprays, antistatic sprays, benzine, or thinners to
clean the discs. These chemicals can irreparably damage the disc's surface.
Discs should be returned to their cases after use. This avoids serious scratches that
could cause the laser pickup to skip.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for
extended periods. Exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
Do not stick paper or write anything with a ball point pen on the label side of the disc.
