handling cds/dvds
To avoid damaging a disc, follow these guidelines:
•
Return the disc to the case when you are finished using it.
•
Handle the disc by its outside edges or center hole only.
•
Do not touch the unlabeled side of a disc or place the unlabeled side down on
your desk. Doing so could scratch the surface of the disc.
•
Store discs at room temperature.
