• Do not stick any labels on the disc nor
scratch it as you would otherwise
damage the disc.
• When using a disc with improperly
attached label, the label edges may peel
or the label may come off entirely inside
the disc drive, leading to malfunction
and damage of the drive. Before
inserting a disc, make sure that the label
is properly attached. In no event will
Sony Corporation be liable for any
damage or media loss caused by
improper labels. Carefully follow the
instructions of any label printing
software and label products. Use of such
