Disc Care and Maintenance
Optical discs (DVDs, CDs) contain high-density compressed data
and need proper handling.
Handling a Disc
Hold a DVD/CD by its edges.
Avoid touching the recorded side
of the disc. To remove a DVD/CD
from its storage case, press down on the center retention
mechanism of the case and lift the disc out.
Do not subject discs to prolonged exposure to direct sunlight,
high humidity, or high temperatures.
Do not bend or press discs.
To reduce the risk of scratches, always put discs back in their
case after use. Store discs vertically in a cabinet.
Do not place stickers or labels on either side of a disc.
Cleaning a Disc
Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe off any fingerprints and dusts from
the playing surface of the disc. Wipe in a straight line radially from
the center to the outside edge of the disc. Small dust particles
and light stains will not affect playback quality.
Never use chemicals such as record sprays, anti-stat-
ic sprays, benzene, or thinners to clean a disc. Doing
so will damage the surface of the disc permanently.
