Handling precautions
≥
Do not attach labels or stickers to discs (This may cause
disc warping, rendering it unusable).
≥
Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or
other writing instrument.
≥
Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner,
static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.
≥
Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.
≥
Do not use the following discs:
– Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or
labels (rented discs etc).
– Discs that are badly warped or cracked.
– Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart shapes.
Regarding DVD-Audio
Some multi-channel DVD-Audio will prevent down-mixing
(
➜
page 23, Glossary) of all or part of their contents if this
is the manufacturer’s intention. When playing such discs,
or such parts of the disc, unless the number of connected
speakers is the same as the disc’s channel specification,
audio will not be output properly (e.g. part of the audio is
missing, multi-channel audio cannot be selected and
audio is played in two channels). Refer to the disc’s jacket
for more information.
Note about using a DualDisc
The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not
meet the technical specifications of the Compact Disc
Digital Audio (CD-DA) format so play may not be possible.
