Do not block the disc tray with your hand while it is opening

Do not place unplayable discs or any object other than a disc
on the disc tray.
●
Do not press down strongly on the disc tray or place any heavy
objects on it.
Discs without cartridges
●
Place the disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up.
Since disc size changes depending on the disc to be played
back, be sure to correctly align the disc with the grooves for its
size. If the disc is not in its groove, it may be scratched or
otherwise damaged. To insert an 8 cm disc, place it according
to the inner groove.
DVD-RAM discs contained in cartridges
Double-sided discs:
Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the
grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert
with the side you wish to play back or record facing down. If you
insert the disc with “Side A” facing down, programmes are
recorded on the side A.
Single-sided discs:
Remove the disc from the cartridge. Align the disc with the
grooves on the disc tray as shown in the illustration and insert
with the label side facing up.
Care and Handling of Discs
How to handle discs
When handling a disc, do
not touch the surface of the
disc. Since discs are made
of plastic, they are easily
damaged. If a disc gets dirty,
dusty, scratched or warped,
the images and sound will
not be picked up correctly,
and such a disc may cause the unit to malfunction.
Label side
Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any
adhesives on its surface.
Recording side
Make sure that discs are not scratched and dirty on the recording
side before use. Scratches and dirt on the recording side of a disc
may hinder proper playback and recording. Also be careful that
a DVD-RAM disc may get scratched or dirt when removed from
cartridge then put back in after use.
Storage
Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on
top of one another without their protective cases, they can be
damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be
exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or
temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!
Maintenance of discs
If there are fingerprints or other dirt
adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry
cloth, moving from the centre outwards.
If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a
cloth moistened with water. Never use
record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any
anti-static agents.

CAUTION
Sometimes during playback, noise may appear or images
may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not
be up to industry standards.)
These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the
malfunction of the unit.
