Handling precautions

o Always insert the disc into the disc tray with the label
side up . Only one side of a Compact Disc can be
played or used for recording .
o If the side of the disc that the signal is recorded on
(unlabeled side) has scratches, fingerprints or dirt on
it, for example, playback errors could occur . Please
handle discs with care .
o To remove a disc from its case, press down on the
center of the case and hold the disc by its edges .
Do not touch the side of the disc that has the data
encoded on it (unlabeled side) .
Removal from case Holding by edges

Storage precautions

o Discs should be stored in their cases when not being
used . Failure to do so could result in warping and
scratches .
o Do not leave discs in places that are exposed to direct
sunlight or that are very humid or hot . Long exposure
to such conditions could warp or degrade discs, mak-
ing them unplayable .
o Since CD-R/CD-RW discs are more susceptible to the
effects of heat and ultraviolet rays compared to com-
mercial CDs, do not leave them for long periods of
time in places that are, for example, exposed to direct
sunlight or near equipment that generate heat .
o Smudges on a disc might cause the sound to skip or
degrade the sound quality . Always clean discs before
storing them .
Maintenance
o If the side of the disc that has the data encoded on
it (unlabeled side) becomes dirty with fingerprints
or dust, use a soft cloth to wipe the surface from the
center directly toward the edge .
o Never use record cleaners, antistatic treatments,
thinners or similar chemicals to clean discs . Such
chemicals could harm the surface of the disc .
