Care of CDs and DVDs
If playing a CD-R, the sound quality can be reduced

the way the CD-R or CD-RW has been handled.
Handle them carefully. Store CD-R(s) or CD-RW(s) in
their original cases or other protective cases and
away from direct sunlight and dust. The CD or DVD
player scans the bottom surface of the disc. If the
surface of a CD is damaged, such as cracked, broken,
or scratched, the CD does not play properly or not
at all. Do not touch the bottom side of a CD while
handling it; this could damage the surface. Pick up CDs
by grasping the outer edges or the edge of the hole
and the outer edge.
If the surface of a CD is soiled, take a soft, lint free
cloth or dampen a clean, soft cloth in a mild, neutral
detergent solution mixed with water, and clean it.
Make sure the wiping process starts from the center
to the edge.
