Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the compact disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit. • If a disc skips or gets stuck on a section of the compact disc, it is probably dirty or damaged (scratched). • When cleaning the compact disc, wipe in straight lines from the center of the compact disc to the outer edge of the compact disc.
