Discs suitable for Recording and Playback

DVD+R: These discs can only be written to once. Existing recordings can be hidden but not deleted. So, any disc space already used by a recording cannot be regained. DVD+R discs are required to be "Finalized" before they will be compatible with standard DVD Players. Once a disc is finalized, no further recordings can be made.

Video CD - VCD/SVCD: On VCD/SVCD discs, advanced features such as PBC (Playback Control) are available.

CD-R/RW:This unit features an on-screen navigator for easy access to playable files stored on CD-R/RW discs, such as JPG images and MP3 music.

Discs suitable for Playback Only

Caring for Optical Discs

ŸHold a disc by the rim or with an index finger in the central hole. Never touch the signal surface.

ŸFinger prints or stains on the surface of the disc may cause signal loss.

ŸUse a soft cloth and wipe in a radiating manner from the center of the disc to the outer rims when cleaning the disc surface.

ŸNever add labels or adhesive tapes on the discs and be careful not to scratch or damage the disc surface.

ŸTo prevent discs from becoming bent or deformed, they should be vertically kept in the disc storage case. To prevent damage, avoid leaving discs in your car, where they may be subject to direct sunlight and high temperature.

ŸDo not use any disc accessory to improve the audio quality, disc protective solutions or lens cleaner. These products may damage the disc surface.
