Handling Discs
• Never touch the underside of a disc. Always hold discs by
the edge, as shown.
• Never attach adhesive tape or sticky labels to discs.
Cleaning Discs
• For best results, keep your discs clean. Fingerprints and
dust can affect the sound quality and should be removed
as follows. Using a clean soft cloth, wipe from the center
outwards, as shown. Never wipe in a circular direction.
• To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a
damp soft cloth, and then dry it with a dry cloth.
• Never use solvent-based cleaning fluids, such as thinner
or benzene, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic
sprays intended for vinyl records, because they may dam-
age the disc.
Storing Discs
• Don’t store discs in places subject to direct sunlight, or
near heat sources.
• Don’t store discs in places subject to moisture or dust,
such as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.
• Always store discs in their cases and vertically. Stacking,
or putting objects on unprotected discs may cause warp-
ing, scratches, or other damage.
