Care and handling
How to handle CDs
When handling compact discs, do not touch the surface of the disc (re- flective silver side - the side without the label).
Since compact discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If the disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the sound will not be picked up correctly and, in addition, such discs may cause the CD player to malfunction.
Even on label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on this surface.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled one on top of another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in any location where they can be exposed to direct sunlight - or in any place where humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
When there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe the disc with a soft, dry cloth with a movement going from the inside outwards.
If difficult to clean, wipe the disc with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any
