Do not use record cleaning sprays or antistatic. Also, do not use volatile chemicals, such as benzene or
thinner.
Do not apply labels or stickers to discs. (Do not use discs fixed with exposed tape adhesive or leftover
peeled-off stickers.)
Do not use scratch-proof protectors or covers.
Do not use discs printed with label printers available on the market.

Disc Storage
Be careful not to damage the disc because the data on these discs are highly vulnerable to the environment.
Do not keep under direct sunlight.
Keep in a cool ventilated area.
Store vertically.
Keep in a clean protection jacket.
If you move your DVD Recorder suddenly from a cold place to a warm place, condensation may generate
on the operating parts, including the lens, and cause abnormal disc playback. In this case, do not connect
the plug to the power outlet and wait for two hours. Then insert the disc and try to play back again. It will
work properly when condensation has evaporated.
