• If there are any fingerprints or dust on the recorded surface, use a soft cloth to wipe the surface straight from the center toward the perimeter.

• Never use a vinyl record cleaner, anti-static agent, or other chemical to wipe a disc.

• Use a soft-tip pen to write only on the label side.

• Do not leave a disc under the direct sunlight or in a location that is exposed to high temperature or humidity for a long period of time.

• Do not use a commercially-available lens cleaner. Otherwise, a malfunction may occur.
