DVD Care and Handling
DVD's are very durable, however, you should take some basic precautions
and exercise some care and handling to help maintain the integrity
of the DVD.
Only handle the DVD by its outer edge to prevent fingerprints.
When not in use, keep the DVD inside its protective cover.
Here is a list of handy tips to follow to make sure the DVD
has a long life:
Always store the DVD in its protective sleeve when not in use.
To clean the disc, make sure to use a soft, lint-free cloth to
clean both sides of the DVD. Wipe in a straight line from the
center of the disc to the outer edge.
Never wipe the DVD in a circular motion.
Make certain the DVD is seated properly in the DVD player's tray
before closing the tray door.
When returning your movie, always place one disc per side of
the sleeve.
Do not "double-up" discs on one side of the sleeve
because it can scratch the discs.
What if a DVD goes bad while I'm renting
it?
Rental companies understand that sometimes a DVD can become unusable.
Most rentals companies will not penalize you if you find a DVD
has become defective while on your watch. However, they will notice
and may take some action if you return a number of defective DVD's
on a regular basis.
