Taking care of your CDs and DVDs

•Keep your disk in its case when not in use to avoid scratches or other damage. Any kind of dirt or damage can affect the data on the disk, impair the disk lens reader on the CD or DVD drive, or stop the computer from successfully reading the disk.

•When handling disks, always hold them by the edges to avoid smudges or fingerprints.

•When cleaning disks, use a clean, dust-free cloth and wipe in a straight line from the center to the edge. Do not wipe in a circular motion.

•Clean your CD or DVD drive periodically. You may refer to the Cleaning Kit for instructions. Cleaning kits can be purchased in any computer or electronics shop.
