handling cds/dvds
To avoid damaging a disc, follow these guidelines:
• Return the disc to the case when you are finished using it.
• Handle the disc by its outside edges or center hole only.
• Do not touch the unlabeled side of a disc or place the unlabeled side down on
your desk. Doing so could scratch the surface of the disc.
• Store discs at room temperature.
