•Do not attach paper or tape to discs.
Cleaning Discs
•Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound deterioration. Wipe the disc from the center outwards with a soft cloth. Always keep the disc clean.
•If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly with a slightly moistened soft cloth and finish with a dry cloth.
•Do not use any type of solvent such as thinner, benzine, commercially available cleaners or antistatic spray for vinyl LPs, as these may damage the disc.
Storing Discs
•Do not store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or near heat sources.
•Do not store discs in places subject to moisture and dust such as a bathroom or near a humidifier.
•Store discs vertically in a case. Stacking or placing objects on discs that are outside of their case may cause warping.
Differences in Disc Composition

All discs are divided into smaller, more manageable sections so that you can find specific content more easily. DVDs are divided into one or more titles. Each title may be further divided into several chapters. Occasionally, a chapter may contain index points, effectively dividing the chapter into several parts.
