106 Cleaning Your Computer
CDs, DVDs and BDs
NOTICE: Always use compressed air to clean the lens in the CD/DVD and BD drive,
and follow the instructions that come with the compressed-air product. Never
touch the lens in the drive.
If you notice problems, such as skipping, with the playback quality of your
CDs, DVDs or BDs, try cleaning the discs.
1
Hold the disc by its outer edge. You can also touch the inside edge of the
center hole.
NOTICE: To avoid damaging the surface, do not wipe in a circular motion around
the disc.
2
With a soft, lint-free cloth, gently wipe the bottom of the disc (the
unlabeled side) in a straight line from the center to the outer edge of the disc.
For stubborn dirt, try using water or a diluted solution of water and mild
soap. You can also purchase commercial products that clean discs and
provide some protection from dust, fingerprints, and scratches. Cleaning
products for CDs are also safe to use on DVDs and BDs.
