Handling and care of discs

Some basic precautions are necessary when
handling your discs.

Built-in drive and care

• Use only conventional, fully circular discs.
Do not use shaped discs.
• Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or
otherwise damaged discs as they may
damage the built-in drive.
• Use 12-cm discs. Do not use 8-cm discs or
an adapter for 8-cm discs.
• When using discs that can be printed on
label surfaces, check the instructions and
the warnings of the discs. Depending on
the discs, inserting and ejecting may not
be possible. Using such discs may result
in damage to this equipment.
• Do not touch the recorded surface of the
discs.
• Store discs in their cases when not in use.
• Avoid leaving discs in excessively hot envi-
ronments including under direct sunlight.
• Do not attach labels, write on or apply
chemicals to the surface of the discs.
• Do not attach commercially available la-
bels or other materials to the discs.
— The discs may warp making the disc un-
playable.
— The labels may come off during play-
back and prevent ejection of the discs,
which may result in damage to the
equipment.
• To clean a disc, wipe it with a soft cloth,
moving outward from the center.

• Condensation may temporarily impair the
built-in drive's performance. Leave it to ad-
just to the warmer temperature for about
one hour. Also, wipe any damp discs with a
soft cloth.
• Playback of discs may not be possible be-
cause of disc characteristics, disc format,
recorded application, playback environ-
ment, storage conditions and so on.
• Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.
• Read the precautions for discs before us-
ing them.
Ambient conditions for playing a
disc
• At extremely high temperatures, a temper-
ature cutout protects this product by
switching it off automatically.
• Despite our careful design of the product,
small scratches that do not affect actual
operation may appear on the disc surface
as a result of mechanical wear, ambient
conditions for use or handling of the disc.
This is not a sign of the malfunction of this
product. Consider it to be normal wear and
tear.

AVCHD recorded discs

This product is not compatible with discs re-
corded in AVCHD (Advanced Video Codec
High Definition) format. Do not insert AVCHD
discs. If inserted, the disc may not be ejected.

Playing DualDisc

• DualDiscs are two-sided discs that have a
recordable CD for audio on one side and a
recordable DVD for video on the other.
