CARE AND HANDLING OF COMPACT DISCS
To remove the disc from its storage case,
press down in the centre of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully
by the edges.
Always place the CD in the disc drawer with
the label facing upwards. CDs can be played on one side only.
Fingerprints and dust should be carefully
wiped off the disc’s signal surface (shiny side) with a soft cloth. Unlike
vinyl records, the CD has no grooves to collect microscopic debris, so gentle
wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight
motion from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and
light stains should have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
Never use chemicals such as record sprays
or fluid, benzene or other solvents to clean CDs. Such chemicals will irreparably
damage the disc’s plastic surface.
Discs should be returned to their case after
use to avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to skip.
ยท Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity or high temperatures
for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures can warp the disc.
Do not stick paper or write anything with
a ball-point pen on the disc surface.
