CDs and DVDs 
How do I maintain CDs and DVDs? 
Avoid touching the surface of the disc with your fingers. Fingerprints and dust on the surface of the disc may cause
reading errors. 
Try using canned compressed air to clean dusty discs. 
Do not clean the disc with solvents (such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, commercially available cleaners, or anti-static
spray), which may damage the disc. To clean the disc, follow these steps: 
1.
Hold the edge of the disc, and use a soft cloth to wipe the surface from the center out. 
2.
If the disc is badly soiled, moisten a soft cloth with water, wring it out well, and use it to wipe the surface
of the disc from the center out. 
3.
Wipe off any remaining moisture with a dry, soft cloth. 
Do not drop or bend the disc.
