Disc Maintenance

A scratch on a disc is generally not enough to keep the disc from working especially if the scratch goes from the center out to the rim. Scratches that go around the disc where a good portion of the same track is scratched can cause trouble. Discs aren't like the old records where a scratch would make a noise and even make the needle jump out of the groove. Disc players generally have technology that will allow for areas that might be damaged but if the damage goes around the disc covering the same radius area there could be a problem.
