12.1 CD advice
Always keep the CD in its cover and only hold it by the edges. The rainbow-coloured, shimmering surface must
never be touched and must always be kept clean. Do not stick paper or adhesive tape to the label side of the
disc. The CD should be kept away from sunlight and heat sources such as radiators.
Likewise, CDs must not be left in a parked car directly in the sun, since the interior temperature in the car can rise
considerably. Clean off fingerprints and dust on the silver side using a clean, dry cleaning cloth.
To clean CDs, do not use record cleaning agents such as record spray, cleaning liquids, anti-static spray or
solvents such as petrol, thinner or other commercially available chemicals. Tough stains can sometimes be
removed using a moist chamois leather.
Wipe from the centre to the edge of the disc. Circular movements when cleaning cause scratches. This can lead
to errors during playback.
