Handling CD Media

Take care when handling blank CD-R and CD-RW media. Dust, scratches, and fingerprints on the
data side of the disc can cause write errors during recording. When picking up or holding blank media
you can either place your fingers on the outer edge of the disc, or one finger through the center hole
and one finger along the outer edge. Once you have finished creating a disc, label it by writing on the
top using permanent ink.

Cleaning Discs

For proper read and write performance, your CD-R, CD-RW, and CD-ROM discs must be clean.
Trying to record on a dirty disc may result in a failed session and ruin the disc.
To clean the disc, wipe it using a clean, soft cotton cloth to remove surface dirt such as fingerprints.
Use a straight-line motion, wiping from the center out. Do not wipe the disc in a circular motion.

PLAYING AUDIO CDs

To listen to an audio CD, plug a pair of stereo headphones or self-powered speakers into the
headphone jack on the drive's front panel, as shown in Figure 14.
