Care and Handling of Discs

How to Handle Discs

When handling a disc, do not touch its sur-
face.
Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily
damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched
or warped, the images and sound will not be
picked up correctly. A damaged disc may
cause the player to malfunction.

Label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to
or use any adhesive on its surface.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases.
If discs are piled on top of one another with-
out their protective cases, they can be dam-
aged. Do not put discs in a location where
they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in
a place where the humidity or temperature
is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adher-
ing to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving
from the center outwards. If a disc is difficult
to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with
water. Never use record cleaners, petroleum
products, alcohol or any anti-static agents.
