Mini DVD Disc

The recording surface of DVD discs is extremely delicate. If handled or stored in an incorrect manner, the camcorder may stop recognizing or may not be able to play back the disc. Be sure to observe the following precautions when storing/ handling your discs.

Always remove the disc from the camcorder after you finish recording.

Do not store the camcorder with a disc left inside.

Keep the disc clean of dust, dirt or smudges. Even very small smudges or particles of dust can lead to problems when recording or playing back the disc. Carefully inspect the recording surface of the disc before inserting it in the camcorder. If the disc gets dirty use a dry, soft lens-cleaning cloth to remove any fingerprints, dirt buildup or smudges from the disc surface. Clean the disc in a radial motion from its center outwards.

Never use a chemically treated cloth or flammable solvents such as paint thinner to clean the disc.

Do not bend, scratch or wet the disc and do not subject it to strong shocks.

Do not attach any labels or stickers on the disc surfaces. The disc may not rotate in a stable manner and this may cause malfunctions.

To protect the disc, return it to its case for storage.

When writing on the label side of the disc, avoid hard tip pens. Use waterproof soft-tipped felt pens instead.

Moving a disc rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation to form on its surfaces. If condensation forms on the disc, put it aside until the water droplets have evaporated completely.

Never expose the disc to direct sunlight and do not store it in places subject to high temperatures or high humidity.

Always finalize a disc before inserting it into an external DVD device. Failing to do so can result in the loss of the recorded data.
