Care and maintenance
Handling discs
Hold the disc by the edges so that you do not
get fingermarks on the playing surfaces.
Fingerprints dirt and scratches can cause
skipping and distortion.
Do not write on the non-label areas with any
writing utensil.
Do not try to install more than one disc on
the disc tray.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high
humidity or high temperatures for long
periods.
Make sure you store the disc in its case when
not in use.
Cleaning discs
Use a soft cloth to wipe off any fingerprints or
dust from the disc surface. Wipe in a straight
line from the centre to the outside of the disc.
Small dust particles and light stains will not
affect reproduction quality.
Never use chemicals such as record sprays,
antistatic sprays, benzene or thinners to clean
your disc.
Cleaning VCR heads
Insert a head cleaner in the VCR. Press play
for 5 seconds and then fast forward for ten
seconds. Eject the head cleaner. If the heads
are still dirty, repeat the cleaning 2 or 3 times.
VCR condensation
If the DVD/VCR/CD/MP3 Player is brought
into a warm room from the cold outside,
condensation will form on the heads. If you
try and use the VCR, damage may occur to
the heads or the cassette.
Turn the DVD/VCR/CD/MP3 Player on and
allow it to stand for about 2 hours before
playing a video cassette.
Record safety tab
At the rear of a blank video tape is a safety
tab. If this tab is removed you cannot record
on the video cassette.
This is a safety feature to prevent pre recorded
video cassettes being recorded over.
