Disc care and handling

•To keep the disc clean from scratches or fingerprints, handle the disc by its edge. Do not touch the recording surface.

•Blu-ray Discs record data in very high density and the record layer is very close to the disc surface. For this reason, Blu-ray Discs are more sensitive to dust and fingerprints than DVD. Should you encounter playback problems and see dirty spots on the disc surface, clean the disc with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the centre out along the radial direction. Do not wipe the disc in a circular motion.

•Do not use record cleaning sprays or solvents such as benzene, thinner and anti-static spray.

•Do not attach labels or stickers to discs as this may cause the disc to warp, become imbalanced or too thick, resulting in playback problems.

•Avoid exposing the discs to direct sunlight or heat sources.

•Do not use the following discs:

–Discs with exposed adhesive from removed stickers or labels. The disc may get stuck inside the player.

–Warped or cracked discs.

–Irregularly shaped discs, such as heart or business card shapes.
