to the disc manufacturer or your retailer.
- Avoid touching or scratching the signal surface (shiny side) of the disc.
- Hold the disc by the edges or by the center hole and one edge.

- Discard warped or cracked discs as they may cause damage to the drive.
- Avoid specially shaped discs such as hearts or polygons.
- Remove dust or lint from the disc with a soft cloth by wiping from the inside to the outside edge rather than in a circular motion.
- Do not use record-cleaning or anti-static agents as the solutions may cause damage to a disc.
Always be sure to store your discs in proper disc storage cases when not in use, and always be sure to check for dirt or dust on discs (especially on the signal surface) before use.
