Protecting Compact Discs
Handle a CD by its edges; never
touch either surface. Contamination
from fingerprints, liquids, felt-tip
pens, and labels can cause the CD to
not play properly, or possibly jam in
the drive. When a CD is not being played, store
it in its case to protect it from dust
and other contamination. To prevent
warpage, keep CDs out of direct sunlight and extreme heat.
To clean a disc, use a clean soft cloth. Wipe across the disc from the centerto the outside edge. A new CD may be rough on the
inner and outer edges. The small
plastic pieces causing this roughness can flake off and fall on the re-
cording surface of the disc, causingskipping or other problems. Remove
these pieces by rubbing the inner and outer edges with the side of a
pencil or pen.
Never try to insert foreign objects in
the CD player or the magazine.
