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 and picture 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 thin-
ner or benzine, commercially available cleaners, or
antistatic sprays intended for vinyl records, because
they may damage 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. Stack-
ing, or putting objects on unprotected discs may cause
warping, scratches, or other damage.
