Media care
This section provides tips on protecting data stored on your CD’s, DVD’s,
BD’s and floppy diskettes. Handle your media with care. Following the
simple precautions listed below will increase the lifetime of your media and
protect the data stored on it.
CD/DVD/BDs
1. Store your CD/DVD/BD in the containers they originally came in to
protect them and keep them clean.
2. Do not bend the CD/DVD/BD.
3. Do not write on, apply a sticker to, or otherwise mar the surface of the
CD/DVD/BD that contains the data.
4. Hold the CD/DVD/BD by its outside edge or the edge on the center
hole - any fingerprints on the surface of the disc can prevent the drive
from properly reading data.
5. Do not expose the CD/DVD/BD to direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold.
6. Do not place heavy objects on your CD/DVD/BD.
7. If your CD/DVD/BD become dusty or dirty, wipe them with a clean dry
cloth from the center hole outwards - do not wipe in a circular direction.
If necessary, you can use a cloth that has been lightly dampened in
water or a neutral cleaner but you must not use benzine, thinner or any
similar cleaning solution.
