Disc and card handling

ª How to hold a disc or card
Do not touch the recorded surface or the terminal
surface.
ª When inserting/removing a disc
Do not allow fingerprints or dirt to get on the
recording/playback side of the disc.
≥ If there are scratches or dirt (e.g. dust or
fingerprints) on the recording/playback side of
the disc, normal recording/playback may not
be possible and the following may occur:
jRecording/playback is not possible.
jThe image or the sound is interrupted or
stops momentarily.
jNoise appears on the image or the sound.
jThe message "NO DATA.", "PLEASE
CHECK THE DISC.", "CHECK THE DISC
AFTER PUSHING THE RESET SWITCH TO
REPAIR THE DISC.", etc. appears.
ª If there is dirt on the disc
≥ Clean it with a soft cloth. Wipe the disc from
the center to the outer edge to remove the dirt.
Do not use force when wiping the disc as it
may scratch it. Also, do not use solvents
(thinner, water, antistatic agent, detergent etc.).
ª Handling precautions
≥ Be careful about scratches and dirt.
≥ Do not attach labels or stickers to discs. (This
may cause disc warping and un-balanced
rotation, rendering it unusable.)
≥ Write on the label side of the disc only with a
soft, oil-based felt pen. Do not use ballpoint
pens or other hard writing implements.
