Handling Discs

• Never touch the underside of a disc. Always hold discs by the edge, as shown.
  
• Never attach adhesive tape or sticky labels to discs.
  

Cleaning Discs

• For best results, keep your discs clean. Fingerprints and dust can affect the sound quality and should be removed as follows. Using a clean soft cloth, wipe from the center outwards, as shown. Never wipe in a circular direction.
  
• To remove stubborn dust or dirt, wipe the disc with a damp soft cloth, and then dry it with a dry cloth.
  
  
• Never use solvent-based cleaning fluids, such as thinner or benzine, commercially available cleaners, or antistatic sprays intended for vinyl records, because they may damage the disc.

Storing Discs

• Don’t store discs in places subject to direct sunlight, or near heat sources.
  
  
• Don’t store discs in places subject to moisture or dust, such as in a bathroom or near a humidifier.
  
  
• Always store discs in their cases and vertically. Stacking, or putting objects on unprotected discs may cause warping, scratches, or other damage.
