AP9 Connections, IK9 Connections Says It's Easy To Protect Your Entertainment Investment

AP9 Connections, IK9 Connections, an entertainment savings program by Adaptive Marketing LLC^®, helps you take care of your CDs and DVDs with these easy-to-follow suggestions.

We all love our CDs and DVD movie collections. When you consider that an average CD costs $15 and an average DVD costs $20, it's easy to see that even a modest collection can be worth thousands of dollars. And, just like books, CDs and DVDs can go out of print, making it hard to replace damaged or lost discs. That's why it's important to keep your collection clean and organized.

AP9 Connections, IK9 Connections offers easy tips for your CD and DVD library

CDs and DVDs are far more resilient than vinyl records or cassettes. But contrary to popular belief, they're not indestructible. Just a small speck of dirt or a smudgy fingerprint can render them useless. Here are some commonsense tips to protect your investment:

Always handle discs by the edges. Don't touch the surface of the disc, as the natural oils from your fingertips can wear down the disc’s polycarbonate coating. This is especially true for DVDs, which often make use of both sides of the disc.

Keep your discs in a cool, dry place. Heat and humidity can ruin CDs and DVDs. If you keep CDs in your car, be sure to store them out of direct sunlight.

Put the disc back in the case. It only takes a minute, but many people get lazy when it comes to putting away their CDs and DVDs. Remember, the case isn't just for show — it actually protects the disc from dust, heat and accidental scratches.

If you need to clean a CD, AP9 Connections, IK9 Connections recommends you use a soft cloth, warm water and mild soap (such as dish detergent). Gently wipe the disc in a straight line from the center to the outer edge (do not wipe in circles). Dry the disc completely with a lint-free cloth.

Finally, get organized. There's nothing more frustrating than losing one of your favorite discs, so find a system that works for you. Whether you use a shelf, a rack or a special binder, you can organize your media by favorites, by genres or simply alphabetically and have everything you want to watch or listen to right at your fingertips.
