CDs and DVDs
How do I maintain CDs and DVDs?
 Avoid touching the surface of the disc with your fingers. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of the disc may cause
reading errors.
 Try using canned compressed air to clean dusty discs.
 Do not clean the disc with solvents (such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray), which may damage the disc. To clean the disc, follow these steps:
1. Hold the edge of the disc, and use a soft cloth to wipe the surface from the center out.
2. 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 center out.
3. Wipe off any remaining moisture with a dry, soft cloth.
 Do not drop or bend the disc.
