However, there are precautions that you should take when handling CD-R discs which are different to those you should take when handling ordinary CDs. Avoid touching the recording (non-label) side of a disc on which you will be recording. Recording on a disc requires a cleaner surface than playing back, and fingerprints, grease, etc. CD-R discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.
