Maintenance

z Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface

radially (from the center hole outward towards the
outer edge) with a soft, dry cloth.

z Never use such chemicals as record sprays,

antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean
the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable
damage to the disc’s plastic surface.

Storage precautions

z Discs should be returned to their cases after use to

avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to “skip”.

z Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high

humidity and temperature for extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the
disc.

z CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the

effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary
CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a
location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and
away from sources of heat such as radiators or

heat-generating electrical devices.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a
disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or
contact the disc manufacturer.
