Disc handling
 Do not touch the disc surface when handling a disc; hold it by the edges.
 Do not stick paper or tape onto discs and do not write on discs.
 Fingerprints, dust, dirt or scratches on the disc can distort the picture or reduce 
sound quality. Always handle carefully and make sure discs are clean before use.
 Do not leave discs near a heat source, in direct sunlight or in high humidity.
 Store discs in their cases when not in use.
 Clean discs using a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the center outwards.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, commercially available cleaners not intended 
for CDs or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.
 Do not leave a disc in the console when moving or changing the position of the 
console.
Moisture condensation
If the console or disc is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture 
may condense on the lens inside the console or on the disc. Should this occur, the 
console may not operate properly. In this case, remove the disc and turn off and 
unplug the console. Do not put the disc back in until the moisture evaporates (this 
may take several hours). If the console still does not operate properly, call the 
PlayStation® service line at the number listed on your warranty card for technical 
assistance.

solution diluted with water, tightly squeeze the cloth to remove the excess liquid, 
wipe the affected area of the exterior, and finish by wiping with a dry cloth.
 Do not use solvents or other chemicals to clean the console exterior, since these 
may damage the surface. When using a chemically-treated cleaning cloth, follow 
the usage instructions supplied with the cloth.
 When dust accumulates in the console vents, remove the dust with a low-powered 
vacuum cleaner.
 Do not use irregularly shaped discs (for example, heart- or star-shaped discs) or
