warped) CDs
• Make sure CDs are stored in their
original case after use. Keep them away
from damp, humid or abnormally heated
places.
Cleaning CDs
• Dirty CDs can cause poor sound quality.
Always keep CDs clean by wiping them
gently with a soft cloth from the inner
edge toward the outer perimeter.
• If a CD becomes dirty, wet a soft cloth in
water, wring it out well, wipe the dirt
away gently, and then remove any water
drops with a dry cloth.
