4) Care of Compact Discs
Contrary to early reports, compact discs are very easily damaged and if treated carelessly, may eventually become unreadable. With CD-ROM drives becoming ever faster and more disc sensitive, this is becoming an increasing problem.
A compact disc is made from two thin layers of polycarbonate, sandwiching the data-encoded reflective surface. The surface of the disc is very easily scratched. Normally a CD-ROM drive can cope with small surface scratches without any problems. However, if these scratches are too long, too deep or too numerous, the CD-ROM drive may have problems reading the data.
Similar problems will result from dirt and grease accumulating on the playing surface. To avoid getting dirt on the disc, always hold it by the edges, and never touch the playing surface.
Should the disc become dirty or scratched, clean the surface with a lens cloth, using a small radial action. Should the disc be very dirty, use a proprietary CD cleaner or a lens cloth with a CD cleaning fluid. Should the disc be badly scratched, there are CD cleaners available that will repair some of this damage.
Compact discs should also be kept well away from extreme heat, as this can warp the disc or damage the surface.
