Care of DVD/CD discs

"

DVD/CD discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to
an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. F ollow the guidelines below for maximum
enjoyment from your DVD/CD collection and player.

!

Do not write on either side of the disc, par ticularly 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 DVD/CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the DVD/
CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a D VD/CD is dirty or does not play properly,
clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.
