Appendix D. About DVD±R and DVD±RW Discs
This appendix explains how to handle, load, and eject compact discs, including 
DVD±R and DVD±RW discs.
Handling Discs
 Handle compact discs (including DVD±R and DVD±RW discs) only by 
their edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the surface of the disc. Do not 
touch the disc’s data surface (unlabeled side).
 Do not place discs in direct sunlight or in locations subject to high humidity, 
high temperatures, or dusty conditions.
 If it becomes necessary to clean a disc due to erratic operation, visible dust, 
or smudges, gently wipe the surface of the disc from the center to the outside 
edge. Do not use benzene, alcohol, thinner or other solvents.
