HANDLING THE DISCS
Dirt, dust, scratches, and
cause skips in the play back and a deterioration
of sound quality. Here is how to take care of your discs.
Use compact discs that have the mark shown on the left.

Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s signal surface
(glossy side) with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has
no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris so gently wiping with a soft
cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to
the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely
no effect on reproduction quality.
Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or
thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals would irreparably damage the
disc’s plastic surface.
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that
could cause the laser pickup to skip.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for
extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
Do not stick paper or write anything with a ball-point pen on the disc surface.
