Introduction
Precautions for Disc Usage
Care of Discs to Ensure High-Quality Playback
Fingerprints, dust, or any other similar contamination of the surface of a disc can lead to distortion in the playback of recorded
video and audio. For this reason, it is good practice to wipe each disc with a soft cloth before use.
Looking After Discs
• Using a soft cloth, wipe the disc gently from the inside to
the outside.
• If stubborn dirt is present on the surface of a disc, wipe
first using a slightly wet cloth and then using a dry cloth.
• Paint thinners, organic solvents, analog record cleaning
agents, anti-static sprays, and the like must never be
used. Failure to observe this precaution can lead to
discs being permanently damaged.
Handling Discs
• Correct method for holding a disc
Your hands or fingers should not
come into contact with the recording
surface when holding a disc.
Additional Notes on Disc Handling
Never wipe a disc using paint thinners, organic solvents,
alcohol, or record-cleaning fluid.
Do not use disc protectors or scratch guards.
Stickers and other types of paper label should not be
applied.
Do not use discs from which stickers or labels have been
removed.
Do not use discs on which illustrations or text has been
printed using a commercially-available label printer. First
create a disc using the unit before printing.
The use of non-circular discs (i.e., heart or rectangular
shaped), warped discs, and cracked discs can lead to
breakage of the DVD recorder.
Storing Discs
Avoid storing discs in any of the following locations.
• Areas with high levels of humidity or dust, or areas
where mold is present.
• Areas exposed to direct sunlight or close to heating
equipment.
• Vehicle interiors during summer months.
Take care to avoid dropping or knocking discs.
Place discs in cases and stack these cases for storage.
Discs can be deformed or cracked as a result of stacking,
leaning, or dropping when not inside a case.
• Removing a disc
• Placing a disc in its case
