Removing a DVD disc from its case
Be sure to hold the edge or centre of disc only. Do not
touch the surface of the disc.
Pick up the disc gently from the case.
•
Do not scratch the disc.
•
Do not get dirt on the surface of the disc.
•
Do not stick a label or adhesive tape on the disc.
•
Do not drop or bend the disc.
Storing a DVD Disc
Store a disc in its case to avoid risk of scratches, dirt or
damage.
•
Do not leave disc exposed to direct sunlight or in
hot or humid places.
Cleaning a DVD Disc
Wipe the disc with a clean, dry cloth from the centre to
the edge.
•
Do not wipe the disc round.
•
Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Video head cleaning
The video heads are the means by which the VCR
reads pictures from the tape during playback. In the
unlikely event that they become dirty enough to be
clogged, no picture will be played back. This can easily
be determined if during playback of a known good tape,
there is good sound but no picture (picture is extremely
snowy). Manual cleaning may still be necessary in
some cases, if this is the case, have the VCR checked
and cleaned by qualified personnel. Head cleaning
cassettes are not recommended because they can be
abrasive to your video heads. To help prevent video
head clogging, use only good quality VHS tapes.
Discard worn out tapes.
Record protection tab
When you insert a video cassette with the record
protection tab removed (for example a pre-recorded
tape from a video hire shop) playback will start straight
away.
To prevent accidental erasure of a recording, Break off
the record protection tab with a screwdriver.
If you need to record onto a tape that the tab has been
removed from, cover the hole with a small piece of
adhesive tape.
