Handling Discs

Only play round discs.

Do not touch the recording surface of the disc.

Handling Discs

If the surface of a disc that does not have or was removed from a cartridge is damaged, scratches, dirt, dust or fingerprints can compromise the recording, editing or playback. Such damage can also occur when the disc is inserted back into the cartridge.

Cleaning the DVD-RAM

Clean the disc with a special DVD-RAM cleaner (optional) and read the cleaner instructions throughly before use.

Cleaning DVD-Videos, Video CDs and CDs

If the disc is dirty, wipe it with a moist and then a dry cloth.

Bad scratches and stubborn dirt may not be able to be removed so that recording, editing or playback is still compromised even after cleaning. The disc should then no longer be used. Do not use benzine, alcohol, water, cleaning sprays, household cleaners or other solvents.

DVD lens cleaner Compatible models

Only for Panasonic`s DVD recorders. Do NOT use this cleaner with any other Panasonic DVD products or with the DVD products of any other companies since doing so may damage the products.

Place the disc in the tray with the label facing upwards.

With double-sided discs, place the side that you want to play, with the label facing up.

Note:

Only the label side of the disc may be written on. Use a soft oil-based felt pen. Do not use a ball-point pen or other hard writing instrument. Do not affix any stickers or labels to the disc. The disc can warp and may become unusable.

When not in use, place the disc in its jewel case or cartridge so that it does not become scratched or dirty.

Do not drop the disc, place them on top of each other

and never bang them. Do not place anything on top of the disc. Protect the disc from dirt, dust, heat, humidity, direct sunlight or strong temperature fluctuations (since condensation water can form).
