Disc Care
•
•
RAM Use cartridges to protect them from scratches and dirt.
Holding a disc
Handle discs by the edges to avoid inadvertently scratching or getting
oil from your fingers on the disc. Do not touch the signal surface of
discs (the shiny side).
Cleaning discs
Discs are not indestructible and occasionally dirt or condensation
may appear. Clean by gently wiping with a soft, dry lint-free cloth in a
straight line from the center of the disc to the edge of the disc.
Return discs to their cases when not in use; this helps to protect
against scratches and dirt.
Storing discs
Do not place or store discs in the following locations:
Direct sunlight
Very dusty or humid areas
Near a heat source
Places that undergo extreme shifts in temperature (condensation can
occur)
Where static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur
Discs to avoid
Discs that are not perfectly circular in shape
Warped discs, which may not balance properly in your unit, causing
improper operation or damage to the unit
Cracked discs
Discs with exposed adhesive (from removed stickers or labels, such
as may occur with rental discs or improperly cared-for discs that were
previously labeled or re-labeled)
