Q Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collection and player.

ODo not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.

OKeep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.
