Cleaning CD-ROM discs
Dust and fingerprints on the disc surface can result in
read errors. Clean the disc by wiping lightly from the
center out with a soft, dry cloth.
To remove severe stains, soak a cloth in a neutral
solvent, wring the cloth well to remove excess solvent,
and wipe the disc lightly. After cleaning, wipe the disc
dry with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not clean with benzene, record cleaner or anti-static
spray. Doing so may damage the disc.

The EditStation uses floppy disks to store EDL data.
Software upgrades may also be provided on floppy

handling floppy disks.
Floppy disk handling precautions
Floppy disks are a convenient and easy to handle, but
certain precautions are required to protect the data on
the disk.
Shutter
• Do not open the shutter by hand or touch the surface
of the disk media. Data errors can result from dirt or
scratches on the disk surface.
• Keep floppy disks away from televisions, speakers,
and other sources of magnetism. The contents of the
disk can be erased by magnets.
• Do not leave floppy disks near heaters or in locations
exposed to direct sunlight. Excessive heat can deform
the disk and render it unusable.
• Do not leave floppy disks near ashtrays or cups filled
with liquid. Data errors can result from dust or liquids
that contact the disk surface.
• To protect the data on floppy disks, store them in a
case or other safe place.
