Okay, so you will soon be the proud owner of your very own DVD copy of our new film Dear J...Or maybe you landed on this page because you want to know about caring for your DVDs (or also your CDs)...
Well, whether or not you have just one DVD or a million of them (aside: what kind of room would you need to house a million DVDs?)... we all know DVDs can be quite fragile. Hence, they need to be treated with care.
Do you know the proper way to protect your DVDs?
Well, we've compiled a list of **Five Common Dangers** in the world of the DVD:
- Fingerprints
DVDs were meant to be held by the edges (see photo above). For those of you who remember records, this shouldn't be too hard. In any case, avoid touching the shiny part. - Heat sources
Keep those disks out of direct sunlight! Ditto for radiators, etc. - Pets
That's right! Your dog may think the DVD is a frisbee, so keep it out of sight. Your cat may want to use it for a scratching pad. That's not something your DVD really needs. - Babies and Toddlers
We love them. They're curious. And they love shiny things. But if you want your DVDs to last until they're ready to go off to college, keep those DVDs out of reach! (On the other hand, it's probably a good idea to teach older children how to treat DVDs right as early as you think they're ready. But you may wish to designate certain DVDs for little fingers as they are learning.) - Table tops
It's not just pets and kids. If you leave your DVDs lying about, unprotected, they could easily develop scratches. So, keep your DVDs in their cases. Or one of the special DVD books with pockets for your whole collection. (Or part of your DVD collection, anyway, depending on the size of said collection.)
