Handling Precautions
• If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp
(water only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the
cloth from the centre hole toward the outer edge.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner,
static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.
• Do not touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc.
• If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the
Recorder may decide that the disc is incompatible and
eject the disc tray, or it may fail to play the disc correctly.
Wipe any soiling off the playing surface with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the Pick Up Lens
• Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The
use of these discs can damage the lens.
• Request cleaning of the lens to the nearest service centre
approved by Sharp.
Warning of Dew Formation
• Dew may form on pick up lens or disc in the following
conditions:
• Immediately after a heater has been turned on.
• In a steamy or very humid room.
• When the Recorder is suddenly moved from a cold
environment to a warm one.
When dew forms:
It becomes difficult for the Recorder to read the signals
on the disc and prevents the Recorder from operating
properly.
To remove dew:
Take out the disc and leave the recorder with the power
off until the dew disappears. Using the recorder with
dew formation may cause malfunction.
Disc Precautions
Be Careful of Scratches and Dust
• DVD-RW and DVD-R discs are sensitive to dust, finger-
prints and especially scratches. A scratched disc may
not be able to be recorded, or important data recorded
may not be able to be played back. Handle discs with
care and store them in a safe place.
