Handle compact discs carefully, especially when you set
them into the player.  Hold them on the edge and do not bend
them.  Avoid getting fingerprints on them, particularly on the
shiny side.

Dirt, scrapes, warping, pin holes, or other disc damage
could cause the player to skip or to repeat a section of a
track.  (To see a pin hole, hold the disc up to the light.)

20L039

To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint–free cloth
that has been dampened with water. Wipe in a straight line from
the center to the edge of the disc (not in a circle).  Do not use
a conventional record cleaner or anti–static device.
