Disc Handling and Care
Proper handling and care of your DVD discs will ensure their longevity and optimal playback quality.
Handling Instructions:
- Always hold discs by their edges or by placing a finger through the center hole. Avoid touching the shiny playback surface.
- Return discs to their cases immediately after use to prevent dust accumulation and scratches.
- Do not bend or flex the discs.
Cleaning Recommendations:
- If a disc becomes dirty or smudged, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth (e.g., microfiber cloth).
- Wipe from the center of the disc outwards in a straight line, not in a circular motion.
- For stubborn marks, use a specialized DVD cleaning solution or a small amount of water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Storage Tips:
- Store discs vertically in their original cases in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid stacking discs on top of each other without their cases, as this can lead to scratches and damage.
