●
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side
from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
●
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat and excessive
moisture.
●
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt or water on the
CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play
properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the
center, along the radius.
Maintenance
Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wi pe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution,
then with a dry cloth.
