Maintenance and Care
Proper care of your TRON DVD will ensure its longevity and optimal performance:
Handling Discs: Always hold the disc by its edges or by placing a finger through the center hole. Avoid touching the shiny playback surface to prevent fingerprints and scratches.
Cleaning Discs: If the disc becomes dirty, gently wipe the playback surface with a soft, lint-free cloth (e.g., microfiber) in a straight line from the center to the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circular motion. Use a specialized disc cleaning solution if necessary, applying it to the cloth, not directly to the disc.
Storage: Store discs in their original case, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. This protects them from dust, scratches, and warping.
