CD General Hints & Recommendations
Following are some general principles regarding the use and care of
CD’s:
1. Keep from touching the recording surface of the CD. Hold it by
the edges.
2. Remember CD-R and CD-RW are easier to damage than musical
CD’s. The music CD’s are covered with a clear coat to protect them.
Do not stick tape on the CD since it can clog up the internal compo-
nents.
3. If a new CD has a burr on the inner circle take a pen and run it
around the circled area to smooth any rough edges.
4. Always clean a CD from the center outward; not in a circular mo-
tion.
5. Do not use CD’s with coloring on the recording surface,
or without the disc mark.
6. Do not store CD discs in direct sunlight.
7. Invest in a CD storage unit to help keep dirt off the CD surface.
