When a DVD-R or a DVD-RW (video mode) has been finalized, it can be played in the same way as any other DVD using a standard DVD player. (☞ Page 42)

 Recording to unused sections of a disc and the modification of titles or display styles can be carried out as required before a disc is finalized.

●If stubborn dirt is present on the surface of a disc, wipe first using a slightly wet cloth and then using a dry cloth.

●Paint thinners, organic solvents, analog record cleaning agents, anti-static sprays, and the like must never be used. Failure to observe this precaution can lead to discs being permanently damaged.

●Correct method for holding a disc

Your hands or fingers should not come into contact with the recording surface when holding a disc.

•In the case of both DVD-Rs and DVD-RWs, it is impossible to overwrite previously recorded content with new data, even if the disc in question has not yet been finalized. The deletion of specific sections of data is also impossible.

•Regardless of whether or not finalization has been carried out, it will not be possible to use this DVD recorder to record new content to a DVD-R or DVD-RW that has been recorded using other devices.

Once a disc has been finalized, it can be used as a standard DVD and its recorded audio and video can be played on this and other DVD players.

Additional Notes on Disc Handling Storing Discs

•	After finalizing, a disc’s titles can be selected from the top
	menu.

Never wipe a disc using paint thinners, organic solvents, alcohol, or record-cleaning fluid. Do not use disc protectors or scratch guards.

Stickers and other types of paper label should not be applied. Do not use discs from which stickers or labels have been

removed.

Do not use discs on which illustrations or text has been printed using a commercially-available label printer. First create a disc using the unit before printing.

The use of non-circular discs (i.e., heart or rectangular shaped), warped discs, and cracked discs can lead to breakage of the DVD recorder.

Avoid storing discs in any of the following locations.

•Areas with high levels of humidity or dust, or areas where mold is present.

•Areas exposed to direct sunlight or close to heating equipment.

•Vehicle interiors during summer months.

Take care to avoid dropping or knocking discs.

Place discs in cases and stack these cases for storage.

Discs can be deformed or cracked as a result of stacking, leaning, or dropping when not inside a case.
