Care of compact discs
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking
can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface.
Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your
CD collection and player.
I
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side.
Signals are read from the non-label side. Do not mark on this surface.
I
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive
moisture.
I
Always hold CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs
can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play
properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the
center, along the radius.
