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.
❖ Never apply a label to, or otherwise mar the surface of a
disc.
❖ Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the
surface can prevent the drive from reading the data
properly.
❖ Avoid exposing discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or
cold.
❖ To clean a disc that is dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry
cloth. The most efficient method to clean it is to start
from the center of the disc and wipe toward the outward
edge (not in a circle). 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.
