Never use a cracked or warped disc.
To avoid danger, never attempt to play a cracked or deformed disc,
or a disc which has been mended using an adhesive agent, etc.
Also do not use an analog record spray or static prevention agent
for these will crack the laserdisc surface.
Care of disc
To maintain high video and audio quality, clean the disc if it gets
dirty clean by wiping the disc surface with a soft cloth. When
wiping, be sure to move the cloth in straight directions from the
center of the disc toward the outer edge. Do not wipe in a circular
direction like you do with analog records.

Storage
After playback, be sure to take out the disc from the player, put
the disc in the jacket or case and store it vertically. To prevent the
discs from warping, do not store jackets or cases at an angle or
stack them horizontally. Also do not store them in a place subject
to direct sunlight or under high temperature and humidity.
÷
If a LaserDisc is deformed, place it in the inner bag, put the bag
between two flat boards, place a weight of 4 to 5 kg (10 lbs) on
the boards and leave them for about a day. This may some-
times reduce the warp or other deformation.
