A small amount of dust or scratches will usually not have an impact on the quality of a disc. The discs should, however, be treated with care.
■ Protect your compact discs from dust and scratches.
■ Store your compact discs in their covers when not in use.
To maintain the original quality of sound, you should occasionally wipe your compact discs with a soft cloth, from the centre to the edge (not with circular movements). Never use gasoline or other solvents.
■ Only hold a compact disc by its edges!

Audio-Compact Disc

■ Only use compact discs with this logo.

■ Never touch the lens in the disc compartment (16).
If the compact disc is very dirty or has very clear fingerprints on it, it may not be possible to play it (delayed playback, "jumping").
The information on the compact disc is read by a laser through an optical lens (do not touch).
