Disc Handling Care

Before using a disc, carefully read the operating/handling instructions and package of
the disc.
If the discs are not handled appropriately, they may become dirty or scratched. Further-
more the writing speed may get slower and the data may not be correctly written on or
read from the disc. Other damage may cause a drive failure.
Note the following precautions.
• Do not touch the disc surface (the side with no printing).
• Keep the disc surface clean and free from dirt, dust, fingerprints and scratches.
• Do not write on the surface of the disc with a ballpoint pen or other writing instrument.
• Do not attach stickers to discs.	E
• Do not drop, bend, or place heavy objects on top of discs.

•Do not place or store discs in locations exposed to heat, direct sunlight, humidity or dust.

•If a disc is brought from a cold to a warm location, condensation may form on the disc. For read-only discs, wipe off the condensation using a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc. For recordable/rewritable discs, wait until the condensation dries.

•When not using discs, keep them in their protective cases or cartridges.
