On handling discs
❑ Do not touch the surface of the disc.
❑ Do not drop or bend the disc.
❑ Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause read errors. Always hold the disc by its edges
and central hole, as shown:
❑ Proper care of the disc is essential to its continious reliability. Do not use solvents such as benzine,
thinning agents, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray, as they may cause damage to the
disc.
❑ For normal cleaning, hold the disc by its edge and use a soft cloth to wipe the surface from the centre
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 centre out. Wipe off any remaining moisture with a dry soft cloth.
❑ Never put stickers on discs. This will affect the use of the disc irreparably.
