Maintenance and precautions (Continued)
Care and storage of the discs
• Keep the disc clean, or the image quality of the
audio and video output may deteriorate.
• Clean the disc with a soft cloth.
Wipe the disc from the center out. For dirt, clean
the disc with a soft cloth slightly moistened in
water, then remove the moisture with a soft, dry
cloth. Do not use solvents such as benzine,
cleaners intended for vinyl LPs or antistatic
spray, as they may cause a malfunction to the
disc.
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or
leave it in a humid place.
• When you carry or store the disc, put it in its
case.
• When you want to write letters or marks, etc. on
a single-sided disc, write only on the printed
side using an oil-based marker with a felt-tip,
and do not touch the ink until it dries. Do not
heat the disc or use a sharp-pointed tool, such as
ball point pen. Do not dry the surface by
heating. You cannot write, or mark, on double-
sided discs.
