3. If the disc becomes dirty, wipe the surface from the center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry cloth.

4. Never use harmful chemicals such as record spray, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.

5. Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser pick up to skip.

6. Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the discs.

7. Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recommended, as the label side might be sticky and damage the unit.
