Some basic precautions are necessary
when handling your discs.

• Use only conventional, fully circular discs.
Do not use shaped discs.

be possible. Using such discs may result
in damage to this equipment.
• Do not attach labels, write on or apply
chemicals to the surface of the discs.

labels or other materials to the discs.
• To clean a disc, wipe it with a soft cloth,
moving outward from the centre.
• Condensation may temporarily impair
the built-in drive's performance.
• Playback of discs may not be possible
because of disc characteristics, disc
format, recorded application, playback
environment, storage conditions and so
on.
• Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.
• Read the precautions for discs before
using them.
