Preparing New Discs with Rough Spots
A new disc many have rough edges on its inside and outside edges. If a disc with rough edges is used, the proper setting

point pen or pencil as shown on the right.
To remove the rough edges, press the side of the pen or pencil against the inside and outside edges of the disc.
