Precautions for Disc Usage
Care of Discs to Ensure High-Quality Playback
ⅥFingerprints, 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.
Ⅵ 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.
Ⅵ Handling Discs
● Removing a disc ● Placing a disc in its case
● 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
ⅥNever wipe a disc using paint thinners, organic solvents,
alcohol, or record-cleaning fluid.
ⅥDo not use disc protectors or scratch guards.
ⅥStickers and other types of paper label should not be applied.
ⅥDo not use discs from which stickers or labels have been
removed.
ⅥDo 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.
ⅥThe use of non-circular discs (i.e., heart or rectangular
shaped), warped discs, and cracked discs can lead to
breakage of the DVD recorder.

mold is present.

equipment.

leaning, or dropping when not inside a case.
