Removing Disc from Cartridge or Caddy
Caution:
Most generally available 8 cm DVD-RAM/DVD-R discs for video camera use (for AV use) can be removed from
cartridge or caddy and then used. Before removing a disc, however, refer to the instructions provided with it,
or consult the disc maker to find out if removal is possible. Handle the removed disc with care as follows:
Do not leave the disc outside the cartridge or caddy.
Do not subject the disc to heat, impact or undue force. (Never bend the disc.)
Do not write on disc surfaces (Characters can be written only on the label printed surface of DVD-R disc
using an oily felt pen.)
Be careful that the recording surface is not scratched and that no fingerprint, dust or dirt adheres to it: A dirty
recording surface may cause block noise. If dirt adheres, use a dry, soft cloth to wipe it off. (Do not use solvent,
water, anti-static agent, etc.)
Caddy is used only for DVD video camera/recorder. When using DVD-R disc on another device, remove it from
the caddy, and then follow the instructions of device to be used.
Insert bare disc (disc removed from caddy or cartridge) into caddy or cartridge before using it on DVD video
camera/recorder.
