With care, a CD will last forever. However, dust, scratches or warps on the Compact Disc may lead to noise or playback problems. Hold the Compact Disc only by the outer edge, supporting it at the center hole with your index finger if necessary. Be careful not to touch the unprinted side of the disc. Never glue any labels or stickers to either side of the disc. If a CD does become dirty, clean it with a silicone cloth such as those used for cleaning camera lenses, or with a commercially available Compact Disc cleaning kit. NEVER use volatile chemical substances such as denatured alcohol, record cleaners intended for analog phonograph discs or antistatic fluids. Always return a CD to its plastic case after it is played and avoid storing the case in a location which is subject to direct sunlight, high humidity or high temperatures. Because of the extreme dynamic range made possible by digital recording, a sudden high volume may result if you attempt to adjust your volume control by "background noise level", the way you might with records or cassette tapes. To avoid damage to speakers or headphones, maintain a conservative volume level until you are familiar with the sonic performance of Compact Discs. 1.
