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.

Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean
the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit.
Never write on or affix labels to the surface of compact discs.
CARE OF THE CABINET
You should care for the cabinet as you would care for any piece of fine furniture. When the cabinet becomes dusty
wipe it with a soft, non-abrasive dust cloth. If the cabinet becomes smudged with fingerprints you may use any
good quality commercial dusting and polishing spray cleaner, however avoid spraying the plastic or metal parts of
this system. We recommend that you spray the cleaner on your dust cloth, not directly on the cabinet, to avoid
getting any of the spray on the plastic or metal parts.
Care and Maintenance
To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it
carefully by the edges.
