Handling discs
- Dirty, scratched or warped discs may cause skip ping or noise.
- Handle the disc only by the edges. To keep clean do not touch its surface.
- Discs should be stored in their cases after use to avoid scratches.
- Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperature or dust.
- Prolonged exposure to extreme temperature can wrap the disc (such as leaving the discs in your car
during summertime).
- Do not stick or write anything on either side of disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the inks used in
some felt-tip pens, may damage its surface.
- Do not touch the unlabeled side. Do not attach any seal, label or data protection sheet to either side of
a disc.
Cleaning
Cleaning the cabinet
Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dampen (not dropping wet) the cloth with a weak solution of
soapy water, and then wipe clean.
Cleaning discs
Fingerprints should be carefully wiped from the surface of disc with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records,
compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and macroscopic dirt, so gently wiping them with a soft cloth
should remove must panicles. Wipe in a straight motion from the center to the edge.
Never use thinner benzine, record cleaner or anti static spray on a compact disc. Such
chemicals can damage its plastic surface.
