Precautions on Use

Handling Discs

Take the following precautions to avoid trouble, such as writing errors, loss of recorded data, and malfunction of the drive, when handling discs.

Do not place discs in a hot or damp place or where they will be exposed to direct sunlight.

Do not touch the disc surface. Hold the disc by the edge when handling it.

Remove dust and dirt from the disc surface. Use an air spray to remove dust. The disc surface may be scratched if strongly wiped with a dry cloth.

Do not stick labels to the disc surface or write anything on it except where designated.

Do not clean discs with chemicals or detergents.

Do not bend or drop discs.
