To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift the
disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a soft
cloth. Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and
microscopic debris so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in
a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains
will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
Never use chemicals such as record sprays, antistatic sprays, benzine, or thinners to clean
compact discs. These chemicals can irreparably damage the disc's surface.Discs should
be returned to their cases after use. This avoids serious scratches that could cause the
Laser pickup to skip.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperatures for extended
periods. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
