message during the installation procedure. If this happens, perform the following
steps.

○

• Avoid storing discs in areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity, or direct
sunlight.

available CD case.
• Avoid storing a disc so its label comes in direct contact with the surface of a vinyl
case, bag, etc.

○

○

Storage Precautions

○

○

• When handling the disc, avoid getting finger smudges, dirt, scratches, etc. on either
of its surfaces.
• Should the disc become dirty, use an eyeglass cleaning cloth or some other soft
cloth to wipe it lightly from the center of the disc outwards towards its edge. Never
use phonograph record cleaner or any other cleaning agent.
• Never write on either of the disc’s surfaces with a pen or pencil, or affix a sticker to
the disc surfaces.
• Use of a disc that is cracked or deformed, or a disc that has adhesive on it is
dangerous. Never use such a disc.
