Dear mccook, It is not necessary to to take any special precautions. Exposure to X-rays can not harm DVDs. Source: National Institute of Standards and Technology: Conditions that affect CDs and DVDs http://www.itl.nist.gov/div895/carefordisc/disc_care/conditions.html Hope this eliminates your concerns. Best regards, Scriptor |

The answer was very helpful, but I wasn't aware of the fact that there were different regions, which affects where CDs and DVDs can and cannot play. Thanks also to Ga1970-ga for the help. |

You are probably already aware of the different DVD regions, and that a DVD disc from one region (eg North America) usually can't be played on a DVD player in another region (eg Europe). In case you're not aware of this, these links have information: http://www.dvdadept.com/DVD_Regions.asp http://hometheaterinfo.com/dvd3.htm |

Just to clarify:- The regions don't apply to CD's, only to DVD's. |
