Taking care of your player and
discs
Handling discs
When holding discs of any type, take care not
to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the
disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by
the center hole and edge.
Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback
performance. Take care also not to scratch
the label side of the disc. Although not as
fragile as the recorded side, scratches can
still result in a disc becoming unusable.
Should a disc become marked with finger-
prints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth,
wiping the disc lightly from the center to the
outside edge as shown in the diagram below.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc
using straight strokes.
Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular
strokes.
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or
a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit
to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use
benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents,
including products designed for cleaning
vinyl records.
Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more
durable than vinyl records, you should still
take care to handle and store discs correctly.
When you're not using a disc, return it to its
case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in
excessively cold, humid, or hot environments
(including under direct sunlight).
Don’t glue paper or put stickers onto the disc,
or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-
tipped writing instrument. These could all
damage the disc.
For more detailed care information see the
instructions that come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the player
at a time.
Discs to avoid
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If
you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped,
warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk
using it in your player—you could end up
damaging it.
