Holdthe disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge.Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback and recordingperformance. Take care also not to scratch the label sideof the disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side,scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable.Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust,etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightlyfrom the center to the outside edge as shown in thediagram below.If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commer-cially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc morethoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaningagents, including products designed for cleaning vinylrecords.Storing discsAlthough CDs and DVD discs are more durable thanvinyl records, you should still take care to handle andstore discs correctly. When you're not using a disc,return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leavingdiscs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments(including under direct sunlight).Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use apencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writinginstrument.
