Inserting Discs
Notes
 When using 8 cm DVD-RAM or 8 cm DVD-R, remove the 
disc from the cartridge.
 It is not possible to record or play continuously from one 
side of a double sided disc to the other. You will need to 
eject the disc and turn it over.
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 centre 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)
