Notes on CD and DVD discs
❑ Do not drop or bend the disc.
❑ Do not touch the surface of the disc. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a
disc may cause reading errors. Proper care of the disc is essential to maintain
its reliability. Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially
available cleaners or anti-static spray, as they may cause damage to the disc.
Some discs recorded at 20 or 24 bits may produce noise while playing. If you
have audio devices connected, this may cause damage to your hearing and
the speakers. Reduce the volume before playing a DVD.
