Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your DVDs and ensure consistent playback quality:

• Cleaning: If a disc becomes dirty or smudged, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth (e.g., a microfiber cloth) from the center outwards in a straight line. Do not wipe in circular motions. Use a specialized DVD cleaning solution if necessary, applying it to the cloth, not directly to the disc.
• Storage: Store discs in their original cases, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Keep them in a vertical position to prevent warping.
• Avoid Scratches: Do not place discs on rough surfaces or stack them without their cases.
