About Recording and Data Storage Media
Handling CD or DVD media
 Do not touch the surface of the disc.
 Do not drop or bend the disc.
 Do not use adhesive labels to identify the disc. The label may come off while the disc is in use in the optical drive
and damage the drive.
Cleaning CD or DVD media
 Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause read errors. Proper care of the disc is essential to maintain
its integrity. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray, as
they may cause damage to the disc.
 For normal cleaning, hold the disc by its edge and use a soft cloth to wipe the surface from the center out.
 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. Wipe off any remaining moisture with a dry soft cloth.
Using Memory Stick media

® SonicStage and OpenMG software are not compatible with the new Memory Stick PRO media.
