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.
Why can't I view the entire DVD video display on a TV screen?
You may not be able to view the entire video display on a TV because the display resolution is not properly set. To adjust
the display resolution, see

768 or smaller, depending on the size of the external display screen.
Why does my computer freeze when I try to read a disc?
The disc your computer is trying to read may be dirty or damaged. Restart the computer, and eject the disc from the optical
drive. Examine the disc for dirt or damage. If the disc is dirty, see
