Handling and Caring for Discs

•Handle your discs with care. Hold the disc with your fingers at the edges or through the hole.

•Insert the disc with the label facing up (for a single-sided disc).

•Place the disc properly into the tray in the allot- ted holder.

•Use a soft cloth to clean discs if necessary, al- ways wiping from the centre to the edge.

•Always put discs back in their cases after use and store in a vertical position.

•Do not close the tray with two discs in it or with a disc not sitting correctly in the holder.

•Do not play cracked, chipped or warped discs nor try to repair them with adhesive tape or glue.

•Do not write on a disc.

•Do not move the unit when a disc is being played.

•Do not scratch discs or store them in places ex- posed to direct sunlight, high humidity or high temperatures.

•Do not use aerosol cleaners, benzene, anti-stat- ic liquids or any other solvent for cleaning discs. When cleaning, wipe gently with a soft damp (water only) cloth from the centre to the edge, avoiding circular motions, which could cause scratches and interference during playback.

Compatible Formats

In order to ensure playback, discs must conform with BD, DVD or CD standards. This unit may not play some recordings or files due to differences in recording formats, software used and disc types.

BD-ROM

BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only Memory) are commercially produced discs and are available in the same capacities as BD below. Other than conventional movie and video contents, these discs have enhanced features such as interactive content, menu operations using pop-up menus (see below), selection of subtitle display, and slideshow. Although a BD-ROM may contain any form of data, most BD ROM discs will contain movies in High Definition format, for playback on Blu-ray Disc players.

Blu-ray Disc (BD)
