4. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and preserve the sound quality of your Audio CD:

• Cleaning: If the CD surface is dirty, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth (e.g., microfiber) from the center outwards in straight lines. Do not wipe in circular motions, as this can create scratches that affect playback. For stubborn marks, a small amount of CD cleaning solution or distilled water can be used.
• Handling: Always handle the CD by its outer edges or the center hole. Avoid touching the playing surface to prevent fingerprints and smudges.
• Storage: Store the CD in its original jewel case or a protective sleeve when not in use. Keep CDs away from direct sunlight, high temperatures, humidity, and extreme cold, as these can warp the disc or damage the data layer.
• Avoid Adhesives: Do not apply stickers or adhesive labels to the playing surface of the CD, as this can unbalance the disc and cause playback issues.

• CD Not Playing/Skipping:
