Compact Disc Care
W3002998
Particular care and handling should be taken to preserve
compact discs.
•
Mini CDs called “singles” (about 0.1 m (4 in.) in
diameter), in most cases, will not eject and should not
be used.
•
The ability of the compact disc to play is adversely
affected by fingerprints, dirt, scratches and sometimes
data defects caused during manufacturing of the disc.
These can decrease the amount of light reflected from
the recorded surface, thus affecting sound quality. If
the disc becomes soiled, gently wipe any soil from the
center of disc to the outer edge.
Note: Do not use volatile chemicals such as benzine,
thinner, record sprays or antistatic agents, which can
damage the disc.
If a cleaner is needed, use a solution of mild neutral
detergent.
•
Do not attempt to play cracked or warped discs. Should
a player exhibit playability problems, substitute another
clean/new disc to verify whether the problem in the disc
or the player. The disc revolves at a high speed within
the player so a defective disc should not be used.
•
Be sure never to touch the signal surface when
handling discs. Pick up discs by grasping the outer
edge.
•
Do not affix paper or tape to the disc and avoid
scratching the disc.
•
As with traditional audio records, compact discs are
made of plastic. To avoid warping, keep the discs in
their cases, and do not store them in direct sunlight.
