Care and storage of the discs

•Keep the disc clean, or the image quality of the audio and video output may deteriorate.

•Clean the disc with a soft cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out. For dirt, clean the disc with a soft cloth slightly moistened in water, then remove the moisture with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents such as benzine, cleaners intended for vinyl LPs or antistatic spray, as they may cause a malfunction to the disc.

•Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or leave it in a humid place.

•When you carry or store the disc, put it in its case.

•When you want to write letters or marks, etc. on a single-sided disc, write only on the printed side using an oil-based marker with a felt-tip, and do not touch the ink until it dries. Do not heat the disc or use a sharp-pointed tool, such as ball point pen. Do not dry the surface by heating. You cannot write, or mark, on double-sided discs.
