Disc Storage

Be careful not to harm the disc because the data on these
discs is highly vulnerable to the environment.
• Do not keep under direct sunlight.
• Keep in a cool ventilated area.
• Store vertically.
• Keep in a clean protection jacket.
• If you move your DVD recorder suddenly from a cold place to
a warm place, condensation may generate on the operating
parts and lens and cause abnormal disc playback. If this
occurs, do not connect the plug to the power outlet and wait
for two hours. Then insert the disc and try to play back again.
