DVD player and care
• Use only normal, round discs, if you insert irregular,
non-round, shaped discs they may jam in the DVD
player or not play properly.
• Check all discs for cracks, scratches or warping before
playing. Discs that have cracks, scratches or are warp-
ing may not play properly. Do not use such discs.
• Avoid touching the recorded (non-printed side) surface
when handling the disc.
• Store discs in their cases when not in use.
• Keep discs out of direct sunlight and do not expose the
discs to high temperatures.
• Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemicals to
the surface of the discs.
• To clean dirt from a disc, wipe the disc with a soft cloth
outward from the centre of the disc.
• If the heater is used in cold weather, moisture may
form on components inside the DVD-ROM drive. Con-
densation may cause the DVD-ROM drive to not oper-
ate properly. If you think that condensation is a
problem turn off the DVD-ROM drive for an hour or so
to allow the DVD-ROM drive to dry out and wipe any
damp discs with a soft cloth to remove the moisture.
• Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.

use certain functions.

playback DVD-RW discs which have been recorded
