∫About DVD-R DL

(dual layer on single side)

DVD-R DL (dual layer on single side) discs have two layers of recording and playback surface on one side. If a scene does not fit on the first layer (L0), recording continues on the second layer (L1) so one scene is recorded across two layers. This unit automatically switches layers during disc playback so you can play the whole disc continuously like a normal disc. However, the image or the sound may momentarily stop at the point where the layers switch.

∫Examples of discs that cannot be used on this unit

≥Discs other than those with a 12 cm (5z) diameter (You cannot use 8 cm (3z) discs even if you insert them in a commercially available adaptor.)

≥6X–12X high speed recording compatible

∫How to hold a disc

Do not touch the recorded surface.

∫When inserting/removing a disc

Do not allow fingerprints or dirt to get on the recording/playback side of the disc.

≥ If there are scratches or dirt (e.g. dust or fingerprints) on the recording/playback side of the disc, normal recording/ playback may not be possible and the following may occur:

–Recording/playback is not possible.

–The image or the sound is interrupted or stops momentarily.

–Noise may appear on the image and/or the sound.

∫If there is dirt on the disc

≥Clean it with the commercially available disc cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from the center to the outer edge to remove the dirt. Do not use force when wiping the disc as it may scratch it. Also, do not use solvents (thinner, water, antistatic agent, detergent etc.).

∫Handling precautions

≥Be careful about scratches and dirt.

≥Do not attach labels or stickers to discs. (This may cause disc warping and un-balanced rotation, rendering it unusable.)

≥Write on the label side of the disc only with a soft, oil-based felt pen. Do not use ballpoint pens or other hard writing implements.

≥Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzine, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.

≥Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.
