CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Handling Discs

• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift the disc out.
• Discs should be returned to their cases after use. This avoids serious scratches that could cause
the laser pickup to skip.
• Hold the disc by the edges, to avoid touching the recorded side of the disc.
• Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped from the disc’s surface with a soft cloth.
• Never use chemicals such as record sprays, antistatic sprays, benzene, or thinners to clean the
discs. These chemicals can irreparably damage the disc’s surface.
• Audio discs and DVD discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris so gently
wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles.
• Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light
stains should have no effect on reproduction quality.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for extended periods.
Exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
• Do not stick paper or write anything with a ball point pen on the label side of the disc.
