Handling Discs and Data

Handling Discs

To avoid trouble such as writing errors, the loss of recorded data, and a breakdown in the drive, take the following precautions when handling discs.

•Do not place discs in a hot or damp place or where they will be exposed to direct sunlight.

•Do not touch the surface of a disc.

When handling a disc, hold it by the edges.

•Remove dust and dirt from the surface of a disc.

Use an air spray to remove dust. The surface of a disc may be scratched if strongly wiped with a dry cloth.

•Do not stick labels to the surface of a disc or write anything on it except where designated.

•Do not clean discs with chemicals or detergents.

•Do not bend or drop discs.

•Use only circular discs*1. Do not use irregularly shaped discs, such as star or heart shaped discs.
