leftover peeled-off stickers.)
• Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.

Disc Storage
Be careful not to harm the disc because the data on
these discs is highly vulnerable to the environment.
• Do not keep under direct sunlight.
• Keep in a cool ventilated area.
• Store vertically.
• Keep in a clean protection jacket.
• If you move your HDD & DVD RECORDER suddenly
from a cold place to a warm place, condensation may
generate on the operating parts and lens and cause
abnormal disc playback. If this occurs, do not connect
the plug to the power outlet and wait for two hours.
Then insert the disc and try to play back again.
Disc Specifications
Disc Type
• A digital versatile disc (DVD) can contain up to 135-
minutes of images, 8 audio languages and 32 subtitle
languages. It is equipped with MPEG-2 picture
compression and Dolby digital surrounding, allowing
you to enjoy vivid and clear theatre quality images in
the comfort of your own home.
• When switching from the first layer to the second layer
of a dual-layered DVD Video disc, there may be
momentary distortion in the image and sound. This is
not a malfunction of the unit.
• Once a DVD-RW/-R recorded in Video Mode is
finalised, it becomes DVD-Video.
• An audio disc on which 44.1kHz PCM Audio is
recorded.
• Plays CD-DA format audio CD-R and CD-RW discs.
