Handling Cautions

• Before connecting other components to this
recorder, be sure to turn them all off.
• Do not move the recorder while a disc is being
played, or the disc may be scratched or
broken, and the recorder's internal parts may
be damaged.
• Do not put a flower vase filled with water or
any small metal objects on the recorder.
• Be careful not to put your hand into the disc
tray.
• Do not place anything other than the disc in
the disc tray.
• Exterior interference such as lightning and
static electricity can affect normal operation of
this recorder. If this occurs, turn the recorder
off and on again with the ON/STANDBY
button, or disconnect and then reconnect the
AC power cord to the AC power outlet. The
recorder will operate normally.
• Be sure to remove the disc and turn off the
recorder after use.
• Disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet when you don't intend to use the
recorder for long periods of time.
• Clean the disc by wiping in a straight line from
the inside to the outside of the disc.

Maintenance of Cabinet

For safety reasons, be sure to disconnect the
AC power cord from the AC outlet.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, or other
solvents for cleaning.
• Wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth.

Disc Handling

• Use discs with regular
shapes. If an irregular
disc (a disc with a special
shape) is used, this DVD
RECORDER may be damaged.
Holding discs
• Avoid touching the surface of
a disc where recording is
performed.

Cautions on handling discs
• Do not write on the printed side with a ball-
point pen or pencil.
• Do not use record cleaning sprays or
antistatic. Also, do not use volatile
chemicals, such as benzene or thinner.
• Do not apply labels or stickers to discs.
(Do not use discs fixed with exposed tape
adhesive or leftover peeled-off stickers.)
• Do not use scratch-proof protectors or
covers.
• Do not use discs printed with label printers
available on the market.
• Do not load warped or cracked discs.

Disc Storage

Be careful not to harm the disc because the
data on these discs is highly vulnerable to
the environment.
• Do not keep under direct sunlight.
• Keep in a cool ventilated area.
• Store vertically.
• Keep in a clean protection jacket.
• If you move your DVD RECORDER
suddenly from a cold place to a warm
place, condensation may generate on the
operating parts and lens and cause
abnormal disc playback. If this occurs,
remove the disc and wait for one to two
hours with the power on before attempting
playback.
