CD-ROM care
Dust, dirt, scratches or warps on the CD-ROM may lead to faulty CD-ROM playback. In order to take
full advantage of the CD-ROM player’s performance capabilities, follow the precautions outlined on
this page.
Removing the disc from its case
After opening the CD-ROM case, depress the centre section of the case with the forefinger of one
hand and use you other hand to lift the disc up by its edge.
Disc handling
Hold the CD-ROM by the outer edge only, supporting it at the center with your index finger if
necessary.
Avoid touching the unprinted side of the disc.
Do not glue any labels or stickers etc., on the disc.
Disc storage
Do not store the CD-ROM in a location which is subject to direct sunlight, high humidity, or hot air from
heating appliances.
Always return the CD-ROM to their plastic cases for storage.
Disc cleaning
It is recommended that you periodically wipe the recorded side of your CD-ROM with a commercially
available silicone cloth (such as that used for cleaning camera lenses or glasses) in order to remove
dust, dirt or fingerprints. Wipe the disc gently, being careful not to scratch its surface.
When wiping the disc, refer to the illustrations below. Unlike records, CD-ROM should always be
wiped in a straight line from the center to the edge.
Do not use volatile chemical substances such as denatured alcohol, cleaning fluid intended for analog
records, or antistatic fluids, as these may damage the CD-ROM.
