Fingerprints and dust on the surface of a disc may cause read errors. Proper
care of the disc is essential to maintain its reliability. Do not use solvents
such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray,
as they may cause damage to the disc.

For normal cleaning, hold the disc by its edge and use a soft cloth to wipe the
surface from the center out.

and use it to wipe the surface of the disc from the center out. Wipe off any
remaining moisture with a dry soft cloth.
