Notes on CD and DVD discs
Handling CD or DVD discs
❑ Do not touch the surface of the disc.
❑ Do not drop or bend the disc.
❑ Avoid using adhesive labels to identify your discs. Adhesive labels may
come off while the disc is in use in your optical drive and damage to the unit.
Cleaning CD or DVD discs
❑ Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause data reading errors.
Proper care of the disc is essential to maintain its reliability. Do not use
solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-
static spray, as they may damage the disc.
❑ For normal cleaning, hold the disc by its edge and use a soft cloth to wipe the
surface from the center outward.
❑ If the disc is badly soiled, moisten a soft cloth with water, wring it out well,
and use it to wipe the surface of the disc from the center out. Wipe off any
remaining moisture with a dry soft cloth.
