Panasonic VW-BN1 Mode D'emploi page 9

≥ Discs inserted in a holder, cartridge, or
caddy case cannot be used. Always
remove bare discs from these containers
prior to use.
≥ It is recommended that you use
Panasonic discs. Usually discs
compatible with the DVD standard can be
used for recording and playback with no
problems. However, some commercially
available discs do not meet the DVD
standard for quality and performance. If
you use one of these discs, you may not
be able to record or playback normally.
Refer to the following support site for
information about discs that have been
confirmed as compatible by Panasonic.

≥ Discs recorded on this unit may not
be playable on other products. In
such cases, play back the disc on this
unit instead.
≥ When using DVD-RW, DVD-R or
DVD-R DL do not perform the
following as it may make the disc
unusable.
– Record on a disc with other products
after recording on it with this unit.
– Record on a disc with this unit after
recording on it with other products.
– Insert an un-finalized disc in any other
products.
∫ 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 of the
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
diameter (You cannot use 8 cm discs even if
you insert them in a commercially available
adaptor.)
≥ 6X–12X high speed recording compatible

∫ How to hold a disc

∫ 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 kind of phenomena may occur.
– Recording/playback is not possible.
– The image or the sound is interrupted
or stops momentarily.
– Noise appears on the image or the
sound.
∫ If there is dirt on the disc
≥ Clean it with the commercially available
disc cleaning cloth. Wipe the disc from
the centre 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.).
