Soundmax SM-CMD3009 [31/68] Handling and cleaning discs

Handling and cleaning discs

 Dirty, scratched or warped discs may cause skip ping or noise.

 Handle the disc only by the edges. To keep clean do not touch its surface.

 Discs should be stored in their cases after use to avoid scratches.

 Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, high temperature or dust.

 Prolonged exposure to extreme temperature can wrap the disc (such as leaving the discs in your car

during summertime).

 Do not stick or write anything on either side of disc. Sharp writing instruments, or the inks used in some

felt-tip pens, may damage its surface.

 Do not touch the unlabeled side. Do not attach any seal, label or data protection sheet to either side of a

disc.

Cleaning the cabinet

Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dampen (not dropping wet) the cloth with

a weak solution of soapy water, and then wipe clean.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints should be carefully wiped from the surface of disc with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records,

compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and macroscopic dirt, so gently wiping them with a soft cloth

should remove must panicles. Wipe in a straight motion from the center to the edge.

Never use thinner benzine, record cleaner or anti static spray on a compact disc. Such chemicals can

damage its plastic surface.
