Disc Storage
Be careful not to harm the disc because the data on
these discs is 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 and lens and cause
abnormal disc playback. When this occurs, do not
connect the plug to the power outlet. Wait for two
hours, then insert the disc and try to playback again.
It will work properly when condensation has
evaporated.
