Handling discs

If the surface of a disc, which has no Cartridge or was removed from one, is scratched, dirty,
dusty or has finger prints, playback or processing can be impaired. Such impairments can
also occur when the disc is placed back in the Cartridge.
Note: Only write on the label side of the disc. Use a soft, oil-based felt-tip pen. Do not use
a ball-point pen or any other hard writing instrument. Do not affix stickers or labels to the
disc. When not in use, put the disc in its case or Cartridge.
RAM
Cleaning the DVD-RAM
Clean the disc with a special DVD-RAM cleaner (optional) and read the cleaner
instructions throughly before use. Bad scratches and stubborn dirt may not be able to be
removed so that recording, editing or playback is still compromised even after cleaning.
The disc should then no longer be used.
Do not use benzine, alcohol, water, cleaning sprays, household cleaners or other solvents.
