Disc care and handling
•
To keep the disc clean from scratches or fingerprints, handle
the disc by its edge. Do not touch the recorded surface.
•
Blu-ray Discs record data in very high density and the
recorded layer is very close to the disc surface. For this
reason, Blu-ray Discs are more sensitive to dust and
fingerprints than DVD. Should you encounter playback
problems and see dirty spots on the disc surface, clean the
disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out
along the radial direction. Do not wipe the disc in a circular
motion.
•
Do not use record cleaning sprays or solvents such as
benzene, thinner and anti-static spray.
•
Do not attach labels or stickers to discs as this may cause the
disc to warp, become imbalanced or too thick, resulting in
playback problems.
•
Avoid exposing the discs to direct sunlight or heat sources.
•
Do not use the following discs:
o
Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or
labels. The disc may get stuck inside the player.
o
Warped or cracked discs.
o
Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart or business card
shapes.
