Frequently asked questions
How do I maintain CDs and DVDs?
❑ Avoid touching the surface of the disc with your fingers. Fingerprints and
dust on the surface of the disc may cause reading errors.
❑ To clean the disc, hold the edge of the disc, and use a soft cloth to wipe the
surface from the center out. If the disc is badly soiled, moisten a soft cloth
with water, wring it out well, and use it to wipe the surface of the disc from
the center out. Wipe off any remaining moisture with a dry, soft cloth.
❑ Do not clean the disc with solvents (such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners, or anti-static spray), which may damage the disc.
❑ Do not drop or bend the disc.
Some discs recorded at 20 or 24 bits may produce noise while playing. If
you have audio devices connected, this may damage your hearing and the
speakers. Reduce the volume before playing a DVD.
Do not switch the power saving modes while you are playing the DVD.
Do not use memory-resident utility software to speed up disc access. This
may cause the computer to malfunction.
