General Information About Optical Discs (CDs/DVDs/CD-
RWs etc.)
Optical Disc Care
When handling optical discs, keep the following guidelines in mind.
•
Do not drop the disk.
•
Do not place anything on the disk or bend the disk.
•
Do not touch the signal side (nothing is printed on this side) with your hand.
•
Only handle discs by the outer and inner edges.
•
When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a soft cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre outwards.
Caution:
Avoid using benzene, paint thinner, record cleaner, static repellent, or any other
chemical on the disc. Chemicals and cleaners can damage the disc.
•
Avoid scratching or soiling the side of the disc that has no printing or writing on it. This is the data side
of the disc.
•
Do not write on or apply labels to either side of the disc. Never write with a ballpoint on the surface of
the disc.
•
Keep the disk away from cigarette smoke.
•
Do not store a disc in places exposed to high temperature and humidity.
•
Do not place a disc under direct sunlight.
•
Store discs in their cases to prevent dust contamination, scratches, bending and other damage.
Cleaning an Optical Disk
A dusty optical disk or dust-accumulated tray causes the device to fail to read data correctly.
Follow the procedure below to clean the tray and optical disk regularly:
1.
Press the open/close button on the front of the optical drive. The tray comes out.
2.
Hold the optical disk lightly and take it out from the tray.
Note:
Do not touch the signal side (nothing is printed on this side) of the optical disk with
your hand.
3.
Wipe the tray with a dry soft cloth.
Caution:
Do not wipe the lens of the optical drive. Doing so may damage the lens and may cause
a malfunction of the drive.
