Inserting Discs
Holding a disc
Handle discs by the edges to avoid inadvertently scratching or getting
oil from your fi ngers on the disc. Do not touch the signal surface of
discs (the shiny side).
Cleaning discs
Discs are not indestructible and occasionally dirt or condensation
may appear. Clean by gently wiping with a soft, dry lint-free cloth in a
straight line from the center of the disc to the edge of the disc.
Return discs to their cases when not in use; this helps to protect
against scratches and dirt.
Storing discs
Do not place or store discs in the following locations:
 Direct sunlight
 Very dusty or humid areas
 Near a heat source
 Places that undergo extreme shifts in temperature (condensation can
occur)
 Where static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur
Discs to avoid
 Discs that are not perfectly circular in shape
 Warped discs, which may not balance properly in your unit, causing
improper operation or damage to the unit
 Cracked discs
 Discs with exposed adhesive (from removed stickers or labels, such
as may occur with rental discs or improperly cared-for discs that were
previously labeled or re-labeled)

Video Cassette Information
Video cassettes
Tab
 Break off the video cassette’s tab to
prevent accidental erasure. Cover the hole
with a double layer of adhesive tape when
you want to use the video cassette for
recording again.
 You can use video cassettes with the
VHS and S-VHS marks, but the unit is unable to make full use of the
characteristics of S-VHS video cassettes.
Video cassette care
 Poor quality or damaged video cassettes can cause the heads to
become dirty and malfunction. Store your video cassettes carefully
and discard them when they become dirty or damaged.
 Never use video cassettes on which juice has been spilled or those
that are extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads
to become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.
Insert a cassette (the surface with the
roll of tape should face up).
