Storage precautions
o
Discs should be stored in their cases when not being
used. Failure to do so could result in warping and
scratches.
o
Do not leave discs in places that are exposed to direct
sunlight or that are very humid or hot. Long exposure
to such conditions could warp or degrade discs, making
them unplayable.
o
Since CD-R/CD-RW discs are more susceptible to the
effects of heat and ultraviolet rays compared to com-
mercial CDs, do not leave them for long periods of time
in places that are, for example, exposed to direct sun-
light or near equipment that generate heat.
o
Smudges on a disc might cause the sound to skip or
degrade the sound quality. Always clean discs before
storing them.
Maintenance
o
If the side of the disc that has the data encoded on
it (unlabeled side) becomes dirty with fingerprints or
dust, use a soft cloth to wipe the surface from the cen-
ter directly toward the edge.
o
Never use record cleaners, antistatic treatments, thin-
ners or similar chemicals to clean discs. Such chemicals
could harm the surface of the disc.
