Caring for CDs and DVDs
❖Store your discs in their original containers to protect
them from scratches and keep them clean.
❖Never bend a disc or place heavy objects on top of it.
❖Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the
surface of a compact disc can prevent the drive from
reading the data properly.
❖Avoid exposing discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or
cold.
❖To clean a disc, wipe it from the center outwards (not in a
circle) with a clean, dry cloth. If necessary, moisten the
cloth with water or a neutral cleaner (not benzine or
rubbing alcohol). Let the disc dry completely before
inserting it in the drive.
